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.
The word Delphinus is the Greek word for dolphin, the constellation was named by the second century astronomer Ptolemy. In Greek mythology it is said that the Greek god Poseidon (the Greek god of the sea) wanted to marry Amphitrite a nereid (sea nymph).elphinus found her and convinced her to wed Poseidon. Full of gratitude Poseidon placed an image of a dolphin in the stars to honor Delphinus. Besides the 5 main stars there are other things that are in the constellation: Star Cluster: NGC 6934. 1  Type: globular.
