Amphitrite was a Nereid and she married Poseidon. She was the Goddess of the Mediterranean Sea. Her symbol is the dolphin. The stories say that she was not a jealous wife, and didn't care if her husband slept with anyone else (except for Scylla, who she poisoned and turned into a sea-monster). Her children were Triton, Benthesicyme, and Rhode. Her name means, "the third one who encircles.". She and her sister, Thetis, shared the surname Halosydne, which means "sea-born."
