Amphitrite (Αμφιτριτη meaning ‘Encircling Third’)
Amphitrite (Αμφιτριτη meaning ‘Encircling Third’) was the goddess queen of the sea, wife of Poseidon (god of the sea), and eldest of the fifty Nereides (sea nymphs) in Greek mythology. When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite’s hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. Delphin (god of the dolphins) eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king which resulted in the birth of their son Tritôn. Sadly not much else is known about Amphitrite but she does show up in various works of art from the time. In them she wears the robes of a queen, and carries a three-pointed sceptre called a Trident.(Ziad Nakad Spring 2020 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
