Amphitrite

Amphitrite is the Queen of the Sea through her marriage with Poseidon and one of the fifty Nereids. Her Roman counterpart is Salacia.
==History==
===Early life===
Amphitrite was one of the numerous daughters born from the sea gods Nereus and Doris, who were directly related with the the former Ruler of the Sea, the Titan Oceanus.
Along with her sisters, Amphitrite came to the aid of sailors in distress, fought perilous storms, and took care of the sea's rich bounty.
===Marriage with Poseidon===
After Poseidon replaced Oceanus, he allowed the Nereids to continue duties, put them in his court, and upheld their honor when they were insulted. Though they were all grateful to him and most of her sisters would have been pleased to become his wife, Amphitrite avoided Poseidon due to her unwillingness to get married. However, he tried everything to win her heart despite she refused all his advances out of fear.
Eventually, Amphitrite fled and hid herself near Atlas in the ocean stream at the far ends of the world, which caused Poseidon to sink into a deep depression that disrupted the sea creatures.
Poseidon later sent the God of Dolphins, Delphin, to help him by retrieving her. At Delphin's persuasive presentation of all the benefits and advantages she could enjoy if she consented to marrying the Poseidon, Amphitrite finally agreed.
The marriage of Poseidon and Amphitrite was said to be the grandest celebration ever held under the ocean, attended by gods, sea monsters, and all forty-nine of her sisters. The couple came to have children, including Triton (who became his father's herald, and current heir), Rhode (a minor goddess who became the patron deity of an island named after her and married to Helios), and Kymopoleia (goddess of violent sea storms who later married the Hekatonkerie Briares). Though Amphitrite loved her children dearly, neither her or Poseidon apprecited Kymopoleia as much as the rest of their children due to her chaotic nature.
Unlike other goddesses, Amphitrite acted kindly to Poseidon's demigod children, treating Theseus like an honored guest when he came to visit and giving him a purple cloak (which is a symbol of kingship) to wear.
