Olympian gods were the

main gods of ancient Greece.

The Olympian gods
overthrew their ancestors,
the Titans, and they started
to rule. Some Olympian gods
are Apollo, Aphrodite,
Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon,
and Artemis. Most of these
gods have Roman names.
For example, Aphrodites
roman name is Venus.

I am Triton, the sea god. I

am the son of Poseidon king
of the seas. This book will
tell you all about Greek gods
and me!

Basic
Information

Triton
Tritons

name

in Roman is still
Triton.

Triton is the
sea god. He
was a creature
of the sea with
his upper body
human, and his
bottom half
fishlike.
Triton stilled the waves with
the blow of a conch-shell
trumpet. He could make the
waves calm or raise them.
This could affect people in
floods, or even a drought!
Some people were afraid of

because

he

could

cause enormous floods and

dangerous droughts.

In

In

was

Roman

mythology, his fathers

name was Neptune.

The Family
Triton is not married, although he had more than
four daughters. Their names are Pallas,
Kalliste, Triteria, and the tritonides. Record
does not know how many daughters are in the
tritonides. All that is known is that they were
all girls. In modern day, Ariel is his most famous
daughter, but that comes just from Disney.

Where he lives

In his Disney story, he lived

with his seven daughters. They
were Attina, Alana, Adella,
Aquata, Arista, Andrina, and

According to legend,
Triton lived with his
parents in a golden palace
in the depths of the sea.
The story of the
Argonauts placed his
home off of the coast of
Libya.

We might
not know
the exact
location of
where he
lived, but
we do know

Ariel.

Tritons First Myth

Pallas was a mermaid
of Lake Triton which is
in Libya. Pallas is
known to be a real
daughter of Triton, and
Athena is told to be an
adopted daughter of
Triton. One day when
Pallas and Athena
were playing in the
war games, Athena
accidentally killed
Pallas. Triton must
have been very sad. I
know I would be.

Tritons Second Myth

Another myth shows
Triton as a thief who
stole cattle and attacked
ships. To stop Triton, the
local people left out a
bowl filled with wine.
Triton found the bowl
and drank all the wine.
Later, he then passed
out. As he slept, someone
(whom people think is
Dionysus) beheaded him
with an ax.

Reflection
In working on this project, it helped me learn a few
computer skills. One of the computer skills I learned is
that when you add a shape to write words in, you can
make it blend in with the background you have so you
just see the words. You just click on the shape, go to
textbox tools, click shape fill, and you press no fill. I
have to say so myself it looked pretty cool! The second
thing I learned is how to put a picture in your shape.
First, you go to Google (or any internet source) and pick
your picture. Second, you click the shape; go to format,
text fill, and then picture. Finally, you just click your
picture! Its easy as 1, 2, and 3!
Another thing I learned during this project is a lot
of who my project is about, Triton! Did you know he
actually had four daughters? He did not have seven
daughters, that is just a Disney story. I learned that his
foster daughter Athena accidentally killed his real
daughter Pallas. He must have been very sad. I know I
would be. I also learned that people in Greece worshiped
these gods hoping they would make them wealthy.
