Amphitrite

In Roman and Greek mythology, Amphitrite was a beautiful sea nymph. Poseidon (Neptune), who was the god of the sea and earthquakes, fell in love with her at first sight. Amphitrite did not respond to his love.

Poseidon sent a dolphin to persuade Amphitrite to marry him. She finally changed her mind and married the sea god.

Among their children was a son, Triton, whose name was given to a moon of Neptune. They also had a daughter named Rhodes.
