Amphitrite-Poseidon's Wife. Poor old Amphitrite doesn't get much press as the wife of Poseidon. She's not even mentioned in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. If she was, I missed it. In the Seven Adventures of Cadida, Amphitrite appears, but she doesn't get a lot of page time.
Poseidon (pronounced: po-side-in) was the Greek god of the sea. His Roman name was Neptune. He was also the god of earthquakes. After Zeus had overthrown Cronus, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divided the world among themselves. Zeus claimed the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades got the underworld. Poseidon was the son of Cronus and Rhea. The famous Cyclops Polyphemus, who was tricked by Odysseus, was Poseidon's son. Poseidon was creative and warlike, though Ares surpassed him in battle lust.
