Amphitrite
In Greek mythology, Amphitrite is a goddess and the feminine personification of the sea. She is the wife of the Greek sea god, Poseidon, and lives with him in a golden palace beneath the sea. As the daughter of Nereus and Doris, she is one of the 50 Nereids (beautiful sea nymphs).
Amphitrite often resembled Aphrodite in ancient works of art but was identifiable by a crab claw on her forehead, which sometimes resembled a helmet, and by a golden net, she wore in her hair. Her Roman counterpart is Salacia, who was also the goddess of springs. In Homeric poems, Amphitrite is simply known as ‘the sea’.
