DAUGHTERS OF NOAH
Poseidon is the God of the Sea's Power
POSEIDON
with his trident. This "brother" of Zeus takes the
place of Nereus by marrying his daughter, the Nereid Amphitrite.
Nereus, the Greek Noah, of the line of Seth, can
have no power in the Greek system, and so Poseidon
becomes
GOD OF THE SEA'S POWER
Amphitrite is the Goddess of the Calm Sea
AMPHITRITE
A daughter of Nereus, or Noah, taken to wife by Poseidon. Thus
the family of Nereus becomes his. Identified with dolphins, she
is a simple personification of the sea, and
GODDESS OF THE CALM SEA
