Description

In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite (Ἀμφιτρίτη) was a sea-goddess and wife of Poseidon.[1] Under the influence of the Olympian pantheon, she became merely the consort of Poseidon, and was further diminished by poets to a symbolic representation of the sea. In Roman mythology, the consort of Neptune, a comparatively minor figure, was Salacia, the goddess of saltwater.[2]
----------------------------------------------------
Amphitrite is featured in a puzzle in the PlayStation 2 game God of War as Poseidon's faithful wife, in which a statue of her is pointing towards the solution to the puzzle, the exit of the room.
Amphitrite is the name of a genus of the worm family Terebellidae.
In poetry, Amphitrite's name is often used for the sea, as a synonym of Thalassa.
Seven ships of the Royal Navy were named HMS Amphitrite.
At least one ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy was named HM Amphitrite (corvette, in service 1830s).
Three ships of the United States Navy were named USS Amphitrite.
An asteroid, 29 Amphitrite, is named for her.
