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.
Herodotus stated he was of Libyan origin. Certainly the Romans said there were major temples for him in 230 B.C. in Libya. Poseidon is the second son of the two titans Cronus and Rhea. The moment Poseidon was born to Rhea, Cronus ate him alive. As Poseidon is a god and therefore immortal, he lived on in Cronus' stomach, slowly growing into adulthood, until his youngest brother Zeus freed him and the rest of Rhea's children.
