Triton: The messenger of the sea

When the gods wanted a message to be delivered, Hermes with his flying sandals was the unchallengeable choice. However Hermes hardly ever went bellow the waves of the sea. When it came to the realm of the sea none could rise above Triton, because Triton is the messenger god of the sea. He had the upper body of a man and the tale of a fish and carries a golden trident.

Triton is the son of Poseidon, and Amphitrite, goddess of the sea.  He dwelt with his parent in his golden palace in the depths of the sea. He was the father of Pallas and foster parent to the goddess Athena at the same time.

Triton's had a couple of traits that made him famously fearful. The first is a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or heave the waves. According to the myth, its sound was so horrible, that when loudly blown, everyone thought it was some wild beast and fled in horror. He was also feared because it is said that he has the ability to multiply into a swarm of Tritones, daemons of the sea.
