In ancient Greek mythology, Triton was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. He was represented as a man in his upper parts, and his lower parts were shaped more like a dolphin's tail. His special attribute was a twisted sea shell, which he blew hard or soft to raise the waves. This drawing is based on a design found on an ancient Roman lamp.
