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).
Acoetes (Bacchic myth) name of the Tyrrhenian Sea from them. Acoetes (Bacchic myth) In Greek mythology, Acoetes (from Greek , via Latin "Ăcoetēs") was the fisherman known for helping the god Bacchus. This Acoetes was, according to Ovid, the son of a poor fisherman in Maeonia, who served as pilot in a ship. After landing at the island of Naxos, some of the sailors brought a beautiful sleeping boy on board with them. They had found him on the island and wished to take him with them. Acoetes, who recognized in the boy the god Bacchus, was unable to dissuade them from it.
