Editing Amphitrite (section)

==Family==
According to [[Hesiod]]'s ''[[Theogony]]'', Amphitrite was one of the 50 [[Nereid]] daughters of [[Nereus]] and [[Doris (Oceanid)|Doris]]. The mythographer [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], however, lists her among both the Nereids, as well as the [[Oceanids]], the daughters of [[Oceanus]] and [[Tethys (mythology)|Tethys]].<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.2 1.2.2], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.7 1.2.7], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.4.5 1.4.5].</ref>

Amphitrite's offspring included seals<ref>"''…A throng of seals, the brood of lovely Halosydne.''" (Homer, ''[[Odyssey]]'' iv.404).</ref> and dolphins.<ref>[[Claudius Aelianus|Aelian]], ''On Animals'' (12.45) ascribed to [[Arion]] a line "Music-loving dolphins, sea-nurslings of the Nereis maids divine, whom Amphitrite bore."</ref> She also bred sea monsters and her great waves crashed against the rocks, putting sailors at risk.<ref name=":0" /> Poseidon and Amphitrite had a son, [[Triton (mythology)|Triton]], who was a merman, and a daughter, [[Rhodos]] (if this Rhodos was not actually fathered by Poseidon on [[Halia of Rhodes|Halia]] or was not the daughter of [[Asopus]] as others claim). According to the mythographer [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [[Benthesikyme]] was the daughter of Poseidon and Amphitrite.<ref>Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA105 p. 105]; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:3.15.4 3.15.4].</ref>
