Greco-Roman mythology
Further information: Triton (mythology)
Triton with a nymph
Triton of Greek mythology was depicted as a half-man, half-fish merman in ancient Greek art. Triton was the son of the sea-god Poseidon and sea-goddess Amphitrite. Neither Poseidon nor Amphitrite were merfolk, although both were able to live under water as easily as on land.
Tritons later became generic mermen, so that multiple numbers of them were depicted in art.[3][4]
Tritons were also associated with using a conch shell in the later Hellenistic period.[5] In the 16th century, Triton was referred to as the "trumpeter of Neptune (Neptuni tubicen)" in Marius Nizolius's Thesaurus (1551),[6][b] and this phrase has been used in modern commentary.[7] The Elizabethan period poet Edmund Spenser referred to Triton's "trompet" as well.[8]
