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.
In answer to their fervent prayers, the sea-god Poseidon slept with Aethra from which union she bore a son whom she named Theseus and Aegeus later believed to be his own. He had good reason for doing so because at the time of the child's conception he had, in fact, recently slept with his wife.
