Triton's Modern Influences

Poseidon was married to a sea nymph Amphitrite and they had 7 children their names were Theseus, Triton (Amphitrite produced a triton which is half-human and half-fish), Polyphemus, Belus, Ahenor, Neleus and Atlas. He was also farther of Charybdis who was a sea monster who attacked ships.

(Allan, 50). Either way, the childhood of Poseidon and his five siblings, (Hestia, Demeter, Hera, hades, and Zeus) was one of true misfortune; one which lead to the conspiracy against their father. Once in power, Poseidon wasted no time to showcase his calamitous powers and greed for sovereignty. From creating generous undersea lands and blessing civilians in times of drought to feeling angered just as quickly over trivial matters and destroying extravagant empires, Poseidon shifted from these two moods at lightning speeds. Despite all these negative characteristics, Poseidon

Tiziano Vecellio, better known as Titian, was the greatest Venetian artist of the sixteenth century, ultimately achieving global fame. He is famous above all for his incredible use of color and an amazing portraitist; his painterly method was highly influential well into the seventeenth century. Titian also was an important artist of the Italian Renaissance who painted works for Pope Paul III, King Philip II of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Titian developed as an artist in Venice as an apprentice in his teens. He was mentored by Sebastiano Zuccato, Giovanni Bellini, and Giorgione before adventuring out on his own. They were influential for his tonal style to painting and for his landscape smartness, which was impressive and reminiscent.

Poseidon met a Nereid named Amphitrite; like her sister Thetis she proved a reluctant bride, but Poseidon finally was able to win her. As husband and wife they played roles very much like those enacted by Zeus and Hera; Poseidon has a weakness for women, and Amphitrite with good cause is angry and vengeful (1). Together they bore three children, Rhode, Triton, and Benthesicyme. Triton was a merman that consisted of human above the waist and fish-shaped below the waist. He is seen many a times blowing a conch shell and can change shape at will. Poseidon had an infatuation with Scylla, daughter of Phorcys, and this angered Amphitrite. Amphitrite changed Scylla into a barking monster with six heads and twelve feet by throwing magical herbs into her bathing pool (2). Poseidon fooled around with thousands of goddesses, nymphs, and mortal women in his lifetime and also married another important goddess. Medusa is best known for her snake covered hair and her evil glaze, but she was married to Poseidon also. She was a part of the Gorgons (three sisters whose hair was writhed with serpents). When Perseus beheaded her, she was pregnant. From her dead body sprang a winged horse, Pegasus, and a son, Chrysaor. Pegasus is best known of the two but Chrysaor is known as "he of the golden sword." Chrysaor wed Callirhië and they had two offspring, one of which was Echidna. Echidna wed Typhon and had four offspring Orthus,

To start off, I did enjoy The Little Mermaid, mainly because I love Disney, but seeing in the eyes of someone who has study Greek Mythology, it didn’t disappoint too much. That is mainly because The Little Mermaid is not a movie that is mainly based off of some myth, like Hercules, but it did incorporate a tiny bit, mainly in the form of King Triton. King Triton is shown to be the “son of Poseidon”, which is what he is in the myths, so that part is accurate. However, he wasn’t the king of the sea, and doesn’t have a daughter named Ariel, of course. Triton was actually a messenger of the sea, not the actual king of the sea. In the myths, he did hold a trident like his father Poseidon did, so that part is accurate as well. It was never stated that he hated humans, so we can’t be 100% certain that the part is inaccurate or accurate.

Poseidon was born from Cronus and Rhea and is the brother of Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Zeus. Initially after his birth he was consumed by Cronus because he had heard about a prophecy that one of his children was going to take the throne. Eventually, through a story of events, Poseidon was thrown up along with his other siblings. Poseidon became an ally of Zeus in the Titanomachy and the Gigantomachy and eventually was given his power during the casting of lots. The Greek name, Poseidon possibly comes from posis, meaning ‘husband, lord’ and da, meaning ‘earth’ (Behind the Name). The Roman name, Neptune is from “unknown meaning but is possibly related to the Indo-European root, nebh, which means ‘wet, damp, or clouds’ ” (Behind the Name). Poseidon possesses many cultic aspects, including the one that was touched upon earlier, which is the aspect of prayer.

(Graves

Poseidon was the god of the sea, earthquakes and horses. He was married to Amphitrite (granddaughter of the Titan Oceanus) they had two children together Trition and Rhode. Poseidon was the son of the titans Cronus and Rhea. There are two birth stories of Poseidon one he was swallowed with the rest of his brothers and sisters by his father Cronus at birth but was saved later by Zeus. The second story is that his mother Rhea saved him by hiding him in a flock of sheep and told Cronus that she’d given birth to a horse and gave him that to eat.

Mrs. Hale finds a dead bird wrapped in a box with its neck broken, and in finding this, they come to the realization that Mrs. Wright killed her husband because he killed her bird.

“Trifles” a play by Susan Glaspell, emphasizes the thought that women were kept in their homes and their contributions to the home and family went unappreciated and unnoticed. The play gives readers a view of how women were view and treated during the 1900’s. As a female analyzing the play, Mrs. Wright’s motive for killing Mr. Wright was quite clear. Susan Glaspell gives her readers a feminist approach, to demonstrate how Mrs. Wright’s murdering of her husband is justified.
