Amphitrite both the Nereids "and" the Oceanids. Others called her the personification of the sea itself (saltwater). Amphitrite's offspring included seals and dolphins. Poseidon and Amphitrite had a son, Triton who was a merman, and a daughter, Rhodos (if this Rhodos was not actually fathered by Poseidon on Halia or was not the daughter of Asopus as others claim). "Bibliotheca" (3.15.4) also mentions a daughter of Poseidon and Amphitrite named Benthesikyme. Amphitrite is not fully personified in the Homeric epics: "out on the open sea, in Amphitrite's breakers" ("Odyssey" iii.101), "moaning Amphitrite" nourishes fishes "in numbers past all counting" ("Odyssey" xii.119).

The sculpture was unveiled on 11 May 1985 by Lars Roar Langslet, the Norwegian Minister of Cultural and Scientific Affairs. Langslet said of the unveiling, "I remember how happy Jørleif Uthaug seemed when this magnificent monument was finally in place. Perhaps he saw it as a sign that he was finally back on track as a creative artist, with the steel wave's power and the seabirds' flight in his mind's eye."
