god
Triton
also: Tritons
Sea-deities of the Greek imagination, attendants of the sea-god who churn the waters. In 'Delphine' they drip about the god as the dolphins befriend the sailors.
Reading notes
- New Poems: The Other Part §4 Tritons
Tritons: minor sea-deities, half-fish attendants of the sea-god, who churn and 'drip' about him in the procession of the deep.
- Early Poems §34 Triton's
Triton, the Greek sea-god who blows a conch; here a fountain-figure who turns sullen and corrodes once modern plumbing draws the water indoors and empties the square of lovers.
