Other Sea Gods and Goddesses “In the waves the Sea-gods (Di Caerulei) dwelt, Aegeon . . . ambiguous Proteus, Triton with his horn; and Doris and her daughters [the Nereides] might be seen, and some were swimming, some on fishes rode, or sat on rocks to dry their sea-green hair.” — Ovid.

Highest of the gods, lord of the sea, Poseidon of the golden trident, Earth-shaker in the swelling brine, Around thee the finny monsters in a ring swim and dance, With nimble flingings of their feet leaping lightly, Snub-nosed hounds with bristling neck, Swift runners, music-loving dolphins, Sea-nurslings of the Nereis maids divine, whom Amphitrite bore,
