Tritons are a race of sea gos and goddesses born from Poseidon's and Amphitrite's son Triton. Triton lived with his parents, Poseidon and Amphitrite, also known as Celaeno in a golded palace on the bottom of the sea. But according to Homer it was called Aegae. Like their father, Tritons lower half is that of a fish, while the top half is presented in a human figure. This is debated often because their appearance is differently described throughout the history. It is said by Pausanias the " Tritons have green hair on their head, very fine and hard scales, breathing organs below their ears, a human nose, a broad mouth, with the teeth of animals, sea-green eyes, hands rough like the surface of a shell, and instead of feet, a tail like that of dolphins. They are often compared to other Merman/Mermaid like beings, such as Merrows, Selkies, and Sirens. They are also thought of as the aquatic versions of Satyrs. Another description of Tritons is that of the Centaur- Tritons or also known as Ichthyocentaurs who are depicted with two horse's feet in place of where their arms would be.
