Topic Options #66666 - 04/20/02 04:33 PM Neptune and Triton Wordwind Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/30/01 Posts: 6296 Loc: Piedmont Region of Virginia, U... Triton was Neptune's son. Does anyone know who any of his other children were? I was very amused thinking about the upbringing of Triton--asking his dad to please make a new storm so the sea would be filled with a lot of exciting (to a god's son) activity (see Bean's ocean list). Wrote a song to be sung by a young Triton, in fact, called, "I Love It When My Daddy Makes Storms." But are there other notable, familiar names of Neptune's children? Thanks to you classical scholars, WordsWorthless Top #66667 - 04/21/02 07:13 AM Re: Neptune and Triton Bingley Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/09/00 Posts: 3065 Loc: Jakarta Polyphemus, the Cyclops, was Poseidon's son.

Thanks, Bingley! Did the Romans have a One-Eyed Son of a Neptune?

Then, when dashing hero (ooh, I forget his name, was it Perseus?) cuts her head off, out springs Pegasus and a couple of other 'monsters'... who are all Poseidon's children, according to Greek ideas of conception. alexis Top Previous Topic Index Next Topic Preview Hop to: General Topics ------   Information and announcements   Q&A about words   Wordplay and fun   Words and languages in schools   Miscellany   Weekly Themes   Looking for (writers, speakers, ...)
