Meaning and background
The story behind Triton
Triton belongs to Greek mythology. Ancient accounts describe him as a sea god, son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, often shown with a fish's tail and a conch-shell trumpet. The reference is more specific than simply 'ocean' or 'water'. Some proposed linguistic explanations of the divine name are debated; his mythological identity is the solid, well-attested reason to discuss it.
