Amphitrite-Poseidon's Wife. Poor old Amphitrite doesn't get much press as the wife of Poseidon. She's not even mentioned in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. If she was, I missed it. In the Seven Adventures of Cadida, Amphitrite appears, but she doesn't get a lot of page time.
Poseidon, in Greek religion, god of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. He is distinguished from Pontus, the personification of the sea and the oldest Greek divinity of the waters. The name Poseidon means either âhusband of the earthâ or âlord of the earth.â Traditionally, he was a son of Cronus (the youngest of the 12 Titans) and of Cronusâs sister and consort Rhea, a fertility goddess.
