One of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris collectively known as the Nereids, i.e. the daughters of the Nereus.
Amphitrite was the wife of Poseidon (lord of the Sea) who helped Theseus retrieve the ring that king Minos threw into the sea as a test of Theseus’ divine heritage; when the king of the island of Crete, Minos, met Theseus he doubted that the young man was actually the son of Poseidon; as a test, Minos threw a ring into the sea and waited to see if Theseus could retrieve it; Amphitrite caught the ring and returned it to the hand of Theseus.
Amphitrite is also called Queen of the Sea.
