Theogony
A sea-goddess, wife of Poseidon and mother of Triton.
And of Amphitrite and the loud-roaring Earth-Shaker was born great, wide-ruling Triton, and he owns the depths of the sea, living with his dear mother and the lord his father in their golden house, an awful god.
Odyssey
Sea goddess invoked poetically to name the waves in which Odysseus may have been lost.
We know what fate befell each one of the other heroes who fought at Troy, but as regards Odysseus heaven has hidden from us the knowledge even that he is dead at all, for no one can certify us in what place he perished, nor say whether he fell in battle on the mainland, or was lost at sea amid the waves of Amphitrite.
Olympian
Sea-goddess, wife of Poseidon, named in the prayer for safe sailing.
Master, ruler of the sea, husband of Amphitrite of the golden distaff, grant straight sailing free from troubles, and give new growth to the delightful flower of my songs.
