A name given to Athene (Athena) because after she sprang from Zeus’ head, she was taken to the Libyan lake, Trito, and nurtured by the nymphs of the lake; in this way she is also referred to as Tritonian Athene.
The inhabitants of the area around the lake say that Athene was actually the daughter of Poseidon (lord of the Sea) and the Tritonian lake and, after a dispute with her father, Athene was adopted by Zeus as his own daughter.
