Archaeologists Find Statue of the Roman Sea God Triton in Mausoleum
Archaeologists have uncovered a Roman Statue of Triton during excavations in preparation for a housing development in Kent, England.
Archaeologists from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust (CAT) have discovered artifacts, including a mausoleum which is to be buried within a roundabout, which are more than 1,700 years old during an investigative dig related to a new housing development close to London Road in Teynham.
Robert Masefield, Director for RPS, said: “We expected interesting Roman archaeology, perhaps a cemetery, but the finds including the lively and unique statue of a Triton and the mausoleum remains have by far exceeded that. These finds are now part of Teynham’s local legacy and the nations rich Roman story. Further study will place the findings in their full historical context.”
The area, which is being built on by Moat Homes and Chartway Partnerships Group for its Frognal Lane development, follows the ancient Roman Watling Street and during an initial site evaluation, fragments of chalk wall foundations and Roman cremation burials were discovered. As a result, Swale Council, with advice from Kent County Council Heritage Conservation, required a 0.5-hectare archaeological excavation at the site.

The Canterbury Archaeological Trust (CAT) was tasked with leading the dig, which revealed elements of a 30m square walled enclosure surrounding a c.7m square structure. Further excavations revealed that the structure is a Roman mausoleum containing a Roman coin dating from around 320 to 330 AD. The site also included Roman, and possibly later, burials with various grave goods.
However, the highlight of the findings was the discovery of a stone statue, representing the sea god Triton.
The Triton statue is substantial, appropriately 70cm (27.5 inches tall) and 70cm wide. It weighs more than 132lb (60kg). Archaeologists did not need to dig far. It was only 1.3 feet (40cm) below ground.
In Roman mythology, Triton was the son of Neptune, the god of the sea. The unique stone statue depicts Triton – a merman with the torso of a man and the tail of a fish – riding on a sea monster.
As a demi-god, he could calm the waves by blowing on his conch shell, which he appears to be holding in the uncovered sculpture. That part has been broken off, but the artifact is otherwise in incredible condition. It was carved between the late first century and second century AD.
Dr. Richard Hobbs, senior curator of Roman Britain at the British Museum, told MailOnline it is ‘spectacular’.
He said that, although a few fragments of Triton sculptures are known from Roman Britain, ‘nothing quite like this has been discovered before’.
Excavations are continuing at the site.

The Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite by Frans Francken the Younger

Tumblr media
Little piece based on my Roman Empire au. basically it's the gods who didn't shift trying to work out why everyone else did. everyone is sad and lonely and traumatised.
breakdown ⬇️
Tumblr media
✨Apollo✨. This au is centred around him. Basically he's trying to work out why everyone around him suddenly went all dark and violent (especially Artemis because Diana is MUCH more witchy scary than her). He goes around the block. Olympus is different. He's a Dii Consente now. Hestia (Vesta) has replaced Dionysus on the council so he goes off to find Dionysus (and finds Bacchus/Liber). He goes to visit Artemis (who is Diana and hates him). He goes to visit his mother (who is Latona and unsure why he keeps insisting she has a daughter called Artemis). He goes to visit Asclepius (who is Aesculapius, and still locked away). He tries to find the muses (who I just can't find mentioned in the Roman era much so they're just gone). Finally he goes to the Fates, and they're like "well, everyone's gone 😊. They're never ever going to come back the way they were 🤗. Bye 🤪" and then he goes and cries and shit but he gets better!!! He has some besties.
Tumblr media
Nemesis!! She's goddess of retribution (revenge) so she turns up because Helios (Sol) keeps bitching about Apollo stealing his schmick. (Apollo didn't become associated with the sun until early Roman days). So she comes to Apollo and she's like "girl, this boy won't shut up. Also he hates you." And Apollo, standing with his new house on fire, is like, "YOU THINK???" and somewhere along the way they both work out neither of them switched like everyone else. (Nemesis has been a bit lonely down in the Underworld. Proserpina as Persephone, Pluto as Hades, Trivia as Hecate, Nox as Nyx, Somnus as Hypnos, Mors/Letum as Thanatos). So they both kind of stick together and Nemesis makes Apollo realise that legitimately a lot of people hate him for being a piece of shit back in Greece.
Tumblr media
Iris is a messenger for the gods, and she's kind of peeved that MERCURY is getting all the credit for it, especially when Mercury's a little bitch. (didn't she mention in cotg that she wasn't annoyed at Ganymede for taking her role as cupbearer, but was annoyed Hermes had taken over messaging?) But she has first had experience just how much the gods have changed now. (MARS IS CALM?? HMMMM??? NO VIOLENCE ALL THE TIME???) but she's at a lot of the Roman Olympus parties and just kind of watches Apollo get drunk and shit because a) he doesn't want to be there and b) he doesn't want to remember that the family he's there with isn't his family. And at one point she's kind of like alright bitch that's enough, and she forces him to take care of himself <3
Tumblr media
Apollo comes across while searching for Dionysus. Ariadne is usually just Ariadne in Roman times but sometimes she's Libera, like how Dionysus is Liber instead of Bacchus at times. So I kind of figured she'd be Libera whenever Dionysus was in Liber form, and be Ariadne whenever he was Bacchus. So as well as her husband being completely crazy, she also blacks out at times to get taken over by another goddess. This stops happening over time but it's still really annoying. Anyway Apollo tries to talk to her after he realises she's Ariadne, and girl gets pissed because why is Apollo the same and her husband completely not? She has this idea or something that Apollo did something to make this happen and Apollo is literally like "I AM JUST AS DISTRESSED AS YOU ARE" but he's also not sure whether it IS his fault or not. anyways Ariadne comes round after a few years and chats to him at a party on Olympus and she sort of gravitates towards his little group because she's very very lonely.
Tumblr media
Britomartis is a Hunter of Artemis and doesn't generally hate Apollo, but doesn't like him either. But she, like all the other hunters, is 100% caught off guard when Artemis switches to Diana. And Apollo is around a lot because he wants to work out Diana and doesn't want her to hate him (which she does). Idk. Diana is very volatile in my head (at least during Roman Empire days) and gets very annoyed when her hunter's call her Artemis, so Britomartis sort of slips away and starts hanging out with Apollo, mainly because she's a little bit worried about him, and mainly because she knows Artemis would want him to be okay, even if Diana didn't care.
Tumblr media
Ganymede probably got so much whiplash from this whole thing poor kid. Like, he's one of the newest gods to the pantheon, and suddenly everyone just shifts up and is super ANGRY. and bros like I am literally fourteen chill please. but he's up front with a lot of the gods as their cupbearer, so he sort of has to internalize his breakdown until he goes to Apollo and is like "get me tf out of here". And Apollo's like slowly recovering and is like holy fuck this boy traumatised, so he takes Ganymede under his wing and eventually just kidnaps him away from Jupiter. (he's a protector of youth, so I like to think he helped Ganymede settle in after his abduction).
Tumblr media
Triton is pulled along by Iris. He's a messenger too and Iris kept messaging as a little defiance because there's no way the little punk Mercury is going to take her job. So she keeps in touch with all her friends and realises quite quickly that Triton is still Triton. Actually a lot of the sea deities stay the same, except mainly Poseidon as Neptune and Amphitrite as Salacia. And obviously Triton is the most affected by their change as they're his parents. He's not on the verge of fading but.. he is. Romans don't worship minor sea deities (which is why a lot of them didn't change) and he's kind of losing his will to go on while feeling like a stranger in his own house. So Iris pulls him away and up to hang out with all the others and he gets less lonely <3
Tumblr media
Thetis was like a butterfly effect. Iris pulled Triton and Triton was like fuck it you're coming too. It's a little.. tense to say the least between Thetis and Apollo, but they warm up over time (centuries). It also gives Apollo the chance of redemption there. Also thetis doesn't like looking human and never has since she was forced to be with Peleus for a year. Thetis also like being a little shit and she will use that against Apollo.
Tumblr media
Psyche!!! I love her. Obviously the switch up between Eros and Cupid is crazy. I cannot imagine Psyche being amused with her husband being a little child thing. And she didn't hate him, because she's all about loving the soul and stuff, but it did fed her up, so she kind of gravitated towards the gang. Psyche and Ariadne were probably friends before everything anyway since they could've bonded over both originally being mortals. Also Apollo being a little "she's the wife of the guy that cursed me and Daphne" character development

“Come, my love, be one with the sea 🌿🌊”
Had been inspired from tons of legends of merfolk/sirens lately (especially those of “merman asking hand in marriage with mortal women” in some Scandinavian and Asian mythologies) + obscure stories of forgotten sea deities of Ancient Greco-Roman mythology and their later depictions in Italian Renaissance, too. (such as Triton, the sea messenger son of Poseidon and Amphitrite; the familiar Nereids, 50 daughters of Nereus and Doris; and older gods such as Okeanos and Tethys, primordial Pontos and Thalassa, etc.)

The remains of a set of Gallo-Roman buildings—including what might be a funerary monument—have been excavated in a residential district in Néris-les-Bains, a town in Auvergne, France. The tomb must have been a burial of a very important person to be so magnificently built.
Inside the discovery of 21 sandstone blocks—“a big surprise,” Marie-Laure Thierry, head of the operation at INRAP, told La Montagne. Once cleaned with water and a sponge, archaeologists found they were adorned with bas-reliefs that “have an unprecedented character for Néris-les-Bains, even for Auvergne,” added Thierry. There was a 27 inch relief of Triton a Sea God.
The town, best known for its thermal baths (its name derives from Nérios, Gallic god of the spring), was colonized

Ok sooo...Apparently in Mythology, Triton actually has a Wife named "Libya" who she could be the Mother to Triton's Daughters (Triteia and Pallas). How would we picture Triton's GF from the Myths if she was in SpongeBob? (You know, like the Episode, "The Clash of Triton"?)
Since we know Triton is a rebellious and reckless teenager shown in the episode "The Clash of Triton", my best guess that Libya is a shy and quiet mermaid. Plus she's very responsible to her duties and very clever. She is also kind and nice mermaid. Think like Malina from Emperor's New School mixed with Fluttershy from MLP: FIM, smart, responsible and nice girl who falls in love with a guy who is a total opposite of her. (I actually think Fluttercord is a canon ship according to their last episode "The Last Problem".) Plus like l said, Libya is shy and quiet mermaid who doesn't speak too much.

Nu dați cu pietre în Julieta (recenzie)
„Când mor oamenii pe care-i iubim, pe noi ne plângem. Ne doare absența lor din viața noastră și golul pe care-l lasă nu va putea fi umplut niciodată. Ne rămân amintirile care sunt mai întâi foarte dureroase, lipsa celor iubiți este ca o rană deschisă.

Triton “I’m not particularly interested in my half-blood brother’s life, I just think…” ‘s opinions on some of Percy’s relationship outside the seafam:
Chiron: Should’ve been more careful with Percy, but overall okay given Chiron being an obviously underpaid and overworked old man
Grover: He likes him. It’s pity he didn’t marry Polyphemus, it’d be nice to have him in the family and maybe he would convince good old Polyphemus to start a healthier diet
Luke: Bad thing he betrayed Olympus, blah blah blah, but in a positive light he left camp before Percy’s hero worship turned into something more 👍
Annabeth: She… oh… okay… I guess I can’t write that, Triton. I’ll leave it here that you are strongly against her near your brother. What? No, I won’t say that either. What does Athena and Pallas have to do with this… Okay, enough. Next!
Apollo: Again, I can’t write that. I cannot call the god of sun a [redacted]!!! Okay, I’ll leave the message. Directly quoting Triton (not my words, Triton’s) “I know things about you, cradle robber. Don’t make me come for you!”
Hermes: Not bad. He’s happy that at least one god has restraining. Keep distance, either way. In fact, STOP visiting Percy with presents you were NOT allowed to gift him with.
Thalia: Surprisingly alright about their friendship, laments that she is the daughter of who she is, but she’s got points since she doesn’t like her father much, too.
Hazel: Best half-blood around (after Percy, ofc), says he’d like to have her and Frank over to dinner any day at the palace.
Frank: Basically family, he totally approves of Percy’s friendship with him. Pity he’s Roman and child of Mars, “no one is perfect, I guess”
Nico: In the name of Lady Amphritite, Lord Triton is asking you to eat more healthily. Mostly okay and “Don't crush on Percy again, if you know what's good for you.”
Jason: Roman. Jupiter. Multiple hisses… I don’t know what he meant with it, but whatever.
Beckendorf: He’s ranting for three hours about how great Beckendorf was. Terms such as “Honorary Percy’s Big Brother” were used.
Rachel: Very nice mortal. Poor taste in patrons, though.

Hi hi hi! I hope you're having a wonderful day/night! Can I request the vice dorm leaders with a fem! s/o who is the demi(half) god daughter of Poseidon? Love your blog! And make sure to take breaks!
I love Greek and Roman mythology, basically any polytheistic religion of ancient times, but the most prominent happens to be Greek and Roman mythology. My bookshelves are lined with the myths, and I’ve read all of them over multiple times. I just can’t get enough of it.
Also, thank you… and make sure you also take breaks!
Tumblr media
Trey Clover
He would treat you the same. Nothing would change when he finds out from you. He would continue acting the way he normally does. He always knew you weren’t normal, though. I mean, you always seemed to be ethereal in appearance as well as attitude.
You have some control over the water, and he finds it amazing. Your dates consist of picnics and fun days near a river or a lake. You can most likely breathe underwater, so it’s not a problem for you. Also, when you’re walking out of the water, and your wet hair is just dry enough to fly in the wind… it’s enough to get Trey to pass out because you’re just so beautiful.
One time, Ace was being as rude as he normally is, but this time his negative attitude was directed towards you. Trey genuinely tried to get him to shut up, but it was too late. You already heard the shit he said about you.
What do you do as a response? You summon all the creatures in the sea as well as the water by your side and attack, of course! It wasn’t enough to kill Ace, but it was enough to send him to the infirmary. You warned everyone that there was more to you than everyone originally thought.
When you tell him about your 14 siblings and your millions of cousins, his draw visibly drops. He has siblings himself, but not that many! How were you able to keep your sanity?! He will definitely make you some treats as you tell him more about your family.
Tumblr media
Ruggie Bucchi
He’s always respected women, but his respect for you goes through the roof. He will make sure that you are served before Leona (don’t worry, Leona is also scared of you and your wrath). There are a few times where he gets distracted by your beauty and messes up, but you’re more than understanding.
Your dates consist of going to the beach after making some food and playing around. You show him a small bit of your power by manipulating the water in a path around you.Ruggie wastes no time in taking many pictures (mans needed to buy more storage because his camera roll is filled with pictures of you). 
One time, one of the Savanaclaw students was talking crap about you and you didn’t like it. So what did you do? You caused the water in his water bottle to evaporate right when he got to Magift practice. He was left with no water for hours, and the evil eye in your face told everyone that this was his punishment and to not interfere.
Not only was he severely dehydrated, but he was on the verge of passing out. Many others begged for you to have mercy, so you decided to grant their wish. You filled his water bottle back up, but not without warning him that if he were to do this again, he’d wish he were back in this pathetic, dehydrated state.
When you tell Ruggie about your 14 other siblings, he drops the dish he’s washing. How are you still alive?? He has a big family himself, but not that many siblings and definitely not that many cousins! Then he remembers that your father is Poseidon, and he understands.
Tumblr media
Jade Floyd
He bows down to you. Since you are a child of Poseidon, you are of equal power as that of King Triton was. The entire trio actually bows down to you. Jade will be the only one who gently takes your hand in his to kiss the back of it.
Your dates are mostly at the Mostro Lounge, but there are a few times where you both go in your meforms to the ocean and swim around together. Jade swears he’s never seen anyone more beautiful than you, especially when the sun is hitting you at just the right angle under the water.
One time, a customer at the Mostro Lounge decided to leave a bad review, and you got mad when that meant Jade and Floyd got in trouble because of it. You marched, dragged that student by the ear, and marched back to Azul’s office where you told them that Floyd and Jade are no longer in trouble for the incompetence the customer had. 
To back yourself up, you led them to the tank and conversed with the animals within. Then they turned towards Azul and the student, swam back, and swam to meet the glass. Then the glass cracked. Once they got the idea, they immediately apologized, and you helped fix the damage. Jade was happy that day.
When you tell him about your 14 siblings, he already knows about them. He knows all of the stories of Poseidon and his children since he lives in their domain. Now, he doesn’t know about your side of their stories and how they impacted you, so he will sit you down at one of the Lounge’s stools and fix you a drink while you tell him all about it.
Tumblr media
Jamil Viper
He can tell that you were different from anyone else. Your powers don’t thrive on magic, but rather nature. That in itself makes you super powerful because you don’t accumulate blot that way. Hence you could be unstoppable.
Your dates are mainly at Scarabia, but they are always romantic. He will show up at your door with a bouquet of jasmine flowers and walk with you arm in arm to Scarabia, where he has a meal for the both of you to share. While simple, it’s more than you could ever want.
Once, a Scarabia student said that you were treated too great for someone who was merely a guest in the dorm, and you took that personally (as you should). From that day on, whenever Kalim used his unique magic, you made sure to keep wherever that student was going dry just for him. 
Jamil eventually asked you to allow him to drink some water, but you told him exactly what that student did. He held you in his arms as he whispered that it was in the past and that you should learn to forgive and forget. You sighed and let the rain fall freely.
When you tell him about the infinite amount of relatives you have, he’s not surprised. In tons of mythology, gods and goddesses typically have a lot of kids. But he’s surprised that you manage to remember all of your family despite having so much.
Tumblr media
Rook Hunt
Your ethereal beauty is beyond compare, your locks of hair have a certain flare, it’s as if I’ve known you for years, but I’ve only ever met you here. Is an example of what he would stand beneath your window to serenade you.
Your dates consist of quiet walks through the forest. It’s funny, because it’s how you first met. Rook was hunting in the woods when he saw you by a stream, making some water float around you, the sun shining off of them like crystals. Your eyes were like gems, your voice soft as you whispered to the fish in the stream. He was smitten with one of Eros’ arrows!
Once, a Pomefiore student (not Vil this time) got jealous about how great your skin looked and started hating on you. You didn’t appreciate it to say the least, and made them thirstier than ever by depriving them of any hydration. Their skin was as dry as a desert, which didn’t make them look any better.
Eventually, Rook came to ask you to let him get some water as it wasn’t healthy for him to be dehydrated. You reluctantly granted the student mercy and let him have water. Rook swears he fell even more in love with you.
When you tell him about the infinite amount of relatives you have, he’s surprised… but also not. If it’s traditional in your family to have/adopt a bunch of kids, he’s not going to argue. He will just be excited for what the future has in store for the both of you.
Tumblr media
Lilia Vanrouge
Art thou a goddess that hath blessed him with thy presence? He comes from a land with otherworldly beings, but none of them are deities. You are on a whole other level of beauty and power. It’s as though you weren’t meant for this world but rather for the heavens.
Your dates also happen in the forest, but it’s mostly in a clearing where you both can see the sky and a stream is not far. You would make flower crowns to place in his and your hair as you both laid out some food. (You faked eating his food, opting to eat the food you secretly made).
Once, Sebek commented that you weren’t good enough for a well-trained soldier and general like Lilia Vanrouge, so you decided to show that you were more than just good enough. Your eyes glowed as you summoned all the water that was nearby, including the water that was in his body. He experienced total dehydration.
Lilia had to hold his sword against you and told you to stop it immediately. To see someone you loved dearly turn against you in a matter of seconds was heart-breaking, but you listened. You apologized and ran into your lover’s comforting arms. When you tell him about the millions upon millions of relatives you have, he’s sitting there like you forgot about our children: Malleus, Sebek, and Silver. Yes, Sebek is still your family. Have you seen the riff between Athena and Poseidon? It’s basically the same thing.

I wanted to make a New Headcanon/Theory History involving around these Two Characters and their Parents together, after facing up my regards towards Mindy being part among the Pantheon.
So here we have is the Children of King Neptune (the 14th Member amongst the Roman Pantheon) and Queen Amphitrite (who is actually a Greek Goddess).
Tumblr media
The Generous and Noble Princess Mindy.
And even lastly, the Rebellious Prince Triton.
Tumblr media
If you'd like to read more of what I think that their own Family has, you may scroll down to keep reading because OH BOY did I really have a much thicker brain.
Now many people would say that the Two King Neptunes are Different Characters (that I used to believe) but looking back at each of those Characters, I'd like to think that they're the actual same God, just by different form (since most Deities tend to have the ability to shapeshift whatever appearance they can desire).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Neptune being the case here because he is their Father, he may have had a trouble relationship with either one of them only but still loves his children deeply, no matter if Amphitrite calms him down, I'd like to believe that King Neptune has his own Magical God Abilities and Skills to transform/shapeshift any form that he desires resulting his looks to change differently but is still the same God, no matter in what form he's in.
I'd like to believe that partially the reason as to why Neptune is sometimes always like this to his own Children, no matter on how hard he tries to be a much better Father than his own Father, is because that he wants to prove himself as a much better ruler just like his own Brothers than his own Father ever was as he constantly has much Father Issues deep down inside ever since the Titan War he and his Brothers were in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another Reason that part of Neptune's relationship with his Children is a bit Rocky, is because that Saturn (Neptune's Father and even the Grandfather of Triton and Mindy) is never brought up nor mention in the Entire Family.
Which I could believe that somewhere in the World of SpongeBob, Saturn was a tyrannical ruler during the Golden Age as he took things too seriously, resulting in eating gulping up his own Sons that he tried to eat just so that none of them wouldn't overthrow him and take his place.
Tumblr media
But luckily, I headcanon that Ops (Neptune's Mother) and Jupiter (Neptune's Youngest Brother) saved Neptune and Pluto (Neptune's Oldest Brother) tricked Saturn as Ops had to rescue her own sons away from their Father as the Three Gods ended up in Crete where they had to be raised by the Nymphs (which I do believe that this Universe tends to alternate the Myths).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now I know that a lot of folks would point Me out that there already was a Backstory of King Neptune in one of the shorts, but I tend to headcanon that the Backstory itself in that short could be a Lie as I do believe that there are more versions of Neptune's own backstory out there that Neptune tries to hide his Real Backstory, just so that his past wouldn't be brought up as much through other people, no matter on how hard he faced a traumatizing childhood with his own Father.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And judging on how that SpongeBob says "Sure" at the end, assuming that another one version of his backstories could be true, he is one of the people that doesn't know their God's actual history (nor his God Family) so it could be a possibility that anyone of the Bikini Bottom has not seen nor heard of a Non-Sea God or a Titan before in their life (which is a Good Thing for the Sea King).
Sidenote, in some versions, Neptune (or "Poseidon" as he was called, like his Greek Counterpart's Name in the Third Movie) and Jupiter (Zeus) were raised together without any of their Other Siblings when Ops (Rhea/Cybele) took two of her own Boys to be raised in a Flock of Sheeps, rather than having a She-Goat to nurse her Sons.

So assuming that based around the version that I just mentioned, I like to believe that maybe part of Neptune's origins is a mixture of both the First One (where he was swallowed alive at first) and the second one, being that he was taken care of other than his Youngest Brother.
My Theory is that Neptune and his Brothers were raised by their own Guardians (which were a Couple of Nymphs; Ida and Adrasteia) as they were nursed and taken care of through their own Days of the Island of Crete, as the Three Roman Brothers studied their own God skills and even reaching their own God complex through Growth, just so that they could save the entire World as they would grow up together to stop their own Father.
Presumably a Few Days after the Great Titan War (known as the "Titanomachy"), The Three Brothers decided to take their own Place as Rulers of Each of the Three Lands around the Earth (even after when Ops retired just so that her own Sons could takeover as New Rulers respectfully). Jupiter was taken as the Emperor of the Sky, Neptune was taken as the King of the Seven Seas, and even lastly, Pluto was taken as the Lord of the Underworld.
But the Brothers realized that they needed their own Queens, so they searched up any lady they could find for a perfect wife as they ended up having each of their own consorts (Jupiter had Juno and even Pluto had Proserpina).
And lastly, but not the least, Neptune had Amphitrite.
Tumblr media
Considering that there is No Canonical Backstory for the Two of Them, it's possible on how it would explain on how they met, but it also possible on who Amphitrite's Parents could be in this Universe.
Hesiod believes that Amphitrite was a Nereid and was the Daughter of Nereus and Doris but Apollodorus believes that Amphitrite was an Oceanid rather than a Nereid, and that in a Second version of Amphitrite's Parents, suggesting that Oceanus and Tethys might be her Parents.
I have a Theory that somewhere Amphitrite could be Oceanus and Tethys' Daughter rather than Nereus and Doris (making her an Oceanid).
Although the Backstory for Neptune of how he met his Wife was that he saw Amphitrite dancing and was immediately in love with her but since Amphitrite was scared of him, she fled from Atlas where Neptune had to sent a Dolphin to find her. Amphitrite was found thanks to the Dolphin that she adored, in which she accepted him as Neptune made her his own wife.
Tumblr media
Perhaps the Backstory for these Two Characters is different than the One on how they actually met.
I assume that somewhere Neptune was bored in his life doing his own duties of being Sea King, he decided to stop by through an Island where he passed by but was then caught the attention of a Young Sea Maiden (which was no doubt, his own future wife) as Amphitrite was startled when she was found by Neptune, so she swam away back to the Sea.
After that, he saw her again through a Dance performance upon the Oceanids (who were Amphitrite's Sisters as I recall from the Other version of her own Parents), Neptune presumably recognized Her as the Woman who he saw at the Beach, and much like in the Myths where he saw her dancing, he was probably over head heels in love with her (not just by her own Dance, but through her Beauty).
But given of what I truly believe is that Poseidon and Neptune do live within the same world, just by different timelines (as mentioned in "Spongehenge" where King Poseidon was first mentioned before his Actual Appearance), my Headcanon is that Poseidon and Neptune did knew each other but don't tend to talk about each other anymore, Poseidon was an Ex-Lover of Amphitrite as they fell in love once as Amphitrite was once Poseidon's Girl before Neptune even married Her.
(And Poseidon being Exes with Amphitrite makes sense in my Theory, judging by how they were one of the Most Overlooked Mythological Pairings throughout Centuries).
Tumblr media
I mean, who else could blame Amphitrite for dating a narcissist like Poseidon? He probably wasn't even the perfect match for her (which could explain as to why Poseidon is seen as single, even without Salacia (Amphitrite's Roman Counterpart) (which I doubt that she still exists)).
So Neptune saw what was happening in the relationship between his Greek Equivalent and his Crush was that Poseidon wasn't really a Good Boyfriend to begin with and was focused too much on himself, rather than his own relationship with Amphitrite as Neptune felt bad for her trying to have a Romantic Relationship. He just wondered if maybe perhaps he would make a much better consort for her.
Tumblr media
Sure, Neptune wasn't really that much of a Great Ruler (neither was Poseidon), but deep down, he still does his Duties as a King better, despite his own arrogance as he is now.
So with that in his own mind, Neptune decided to open up himself to Amphitrite as they got along quite nicely for a causal secret affair. Amphitrite grew found of Neptune as he was already fond in her (not just by the looks but with her as a Person). He was her Wrath as She was his Patience as Romance somehow blossomed into a Whirlwind one between them.
Although despite their own disagreements, they loved each other genuinely.
Tumblr media
However, when Poseidon found out about their true affair, he felt cheated on by Amphitrite and wasn't too happy when their relationship felt betrayed (technically, Poseidon did had it coming for not paying any attention to her) as Poseidon and Neptune did had a big huge fight over Amphitrite's heart, in which Poseidon failed but Neptune won (ex; Bambi vs. Ronno over their Love for Faline in Disney's "Bambi").
Tumblr media
In a few months later, eventually, Neptune was chosen to be the Rightful Ruler of the Seas (while Poseidon was chosen to be Second, due to his own Laziness which is why Neptune had to be the chosen one).
Tumblr media
Neptune married Amphitrite as she became his Wife and Queen of the Seas, taking over Each of the Seven Seas as the Seas would always feel calm whenever Amphitrite was around with her Husband, which could explain as to why they had the most open-relationship ever (which was already a thing in their relationship the Mythos).
On the Topic about the Ages in the Royal Family, given that Neptune is around Five Thousand Years Old and that Poseidon is Three Thousand, I'd like to think that somewhere back in the Ancient Era of the Centuries, the Gods were around in their Adult Ages of 20s-50s but if they tend to stop aging (depending on what Age they hit at), they'd be stuck around in their Physical Adult Years in the Modern Centuries despite being very ancient, yet they're still physically in their Mid/Late 20s/50s such. Neptune could be around in his 50s and Amphitrite looks like she could be around in her 40s. So...I assume that Neptune was around 30 when he met Amphitrite (who was possibly around 28), but they stopped aging when Neptune was 50 and that Amphitrite was around 48. A Two-Year-Old Age Gap is what I assume that these two might have.
After passing through Decades of the BCE Era, when the World began to change throughout centuries of time, the Brothers received each of their own Children that their Wives gave birth. And Mindy was one of them through the Middlest Brother of the Big Three.
Tumblr media
Now, for the record, Mindy's top looks like that she'd be a Princess from the Middle Ages. so this could lead to believe that Mindy was actually born around in the Medieval era at the time where Neptune and Amphitrite received their own first child after Neptune's Eldest Brother and Sister-In-Law (Pluto and Proserpina) received their own Heirs in Another Decade.
Now if you remember the Medieval Time Period Episode, "Dunces and Dragons" which in that Episode where SpongeBob and Patrick went all the way back in time after an accident through a Mounted Combat, they did met their own Friends' Medieval Ancestors.
Tumblr media
Assuming that Mindy was born around in the Middle Ages where all of the Ancestors of the Bikini Bottomites were, this could lead into thinking that Mindy was probably either still a Baby in Months or a Child during that time period, even when when SpongeBob and Patrick went all the way back in a Different Century. So this probably leads into a Bigger Age Gap between Patrick and Mindy judging on how Pat had a Silly Crush on Her (because duh, his type is Mermaids, what do you expect?) and if Mindy was ever a Young Goddess from back then, she probably was a lot younger than 14 (either 8 years old or 12) as I HC that Gods receive their own Powers at the Age of 5-7 or 14 (depending on their deity puberty) but Mindy didn't had her own Powers when she hit 14, so she was probably a late bloomer (I mean, Neptune did felt disappointed in his first heir for not receiving any Godly Powers from both of her own Parents, yet he still chose her as Future Ruler because of how much the King and Queen adored their Princess).
Now as for Triton, judging on how Old he was when he first laid his eyes on Baseball, it's possibly assumed that he was actually born in the 21st Century around in the early 2000s when Mindy was around 17,985 years old when her Younger Brother was Born when Amphitrite received Another Heir (this time, being their own Son).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unknown on how Old Triton was when Neptune had enough of his Son's rebellious behavior (even if Triton was only just trying to be himself in which Neptune didn't wanted to have a son like that), I assume around in his Teens, Triton was probably before 14 when he received massive Godly Powers as he's not a late bloomer like Mindy and was possibly a few years older after when he grew Magic Powers from his own puberty (which could mean that Mindy was still around in her Eldest 17,000 years).
I'd like to think that somewhere that the Brother and Sister have their similar contrasts of their own Father, being that Mindy has learn to become a Future Ruler but Triton wanted to be someone else, despite the fact that they had their own personalities similar to their Parents (Mindy being the Calm and Gentle one from her Mother and Triton being the Rebel against his Father's wishes). This could lead into a Deep Sibling bond that these two would have as the Two Siblings have deeply missed each other a lot. Neptune thinks he is trying to be a much better Father than his Actual One, not realizing the truth that he fails and is not at all a better father as he thinks he is, but deep down, still has strong Daddy Issues that would be passed on to either one of his children (most notably Triton).
Tumblr media
Now on the topic of Mindy's Age when she first met SpongeBob and Patrick, given on how that her own Voice Actress was actually 18 years old when she voiced her Character in the First Movie, Mindy was probably around 18,000 years old when she met SpongeBob and Patrick (yet, Mindy is still physically either 17 or 18 deep down) (which makes Patrick a milf lover at this point for crushing a Thousand Year-Old Princess).
As for a personal reason as to why we didn't see Amphitrite nor Triton in the First Movie, I'd headcanon that somewhere before the events of the Film, Neptune and his Wife had an argument over some Family Drama and after a One Fight that they got, the Two Rulers decided to split apart and take their own children with them as Neptune had to take Mindy while Amphitrite had to take Triton and ruled their own separate kingdoms for themselves. So Neptune took a Different form of a King.
Tumblr media
Taking his own new responsibilities as a Merman King rather than a God, he took his punishments very cruel but Mindy always had her Mother's Patience inside of her, so she never took any cruelty upon Mortals like her Father where's somewhere, Amphitrite did make her own Son Happy just to be free to do whatever Triton wanted, even when she would tell their Son of what NOT to do, this made the Parents' own decisions quite fairly hard (even when deep down, they loved each other passionately).
But given on how when Neptune changed at the end, I assumed that Mindy confronted her own Father that she wished to be a Happy Family again due to how that she really missed both her Mother and her Father.
So Neptune, being the Rightful God King, had to do the right choice for his Family in order to make his Children Happy (because he still loves them deeply) as I headcanon that Neptune and Amphitrite went back into ruling their own Kingdom together as Neptune explained to Amphitrite on how sorry the one argument was that they had and make up afterwards where Neptune went back to his true self and became a much more better responsible Father where he learned from his mistakes and learned on how to be a Real Better Actual Father than Saturn (his Father) as the Two Sea Rulers no longer split and things were just back to normal as the way they were.
Tumblr media
And lastly, as for both Triton and Mindy themselves, where exactly was Mindy when she didn't appear at her Father's Party?
I'd like to think that maybe somewhere she was at a visit over her Relatives' places (presumably either any one of her Uncles or at least, her Grandmother, Ops) (since I headcanon that Mindy is the most Favorite Grandchild out of Ops' Sons' own Heirs).
But also of Note, since she did at least took a visit at SpongeBob's Party in a Cameo at the Birthday Blowout special, she probably is now still around in her Thousand Years of the Number of 18, but more than the Zeros as in 2019, she would probably be around 18,001 or something like that (which ever one it could be).
Tumblr media
And lastly as for Triton himself, what happened at the end of his First Appearance after the Party he crashed?
Tumblr media
Well, needless to say, in Mythology, Triton was actually his Father's Herald.
So I assume that when Triton didn't want to be the Next Sea King, Neptune thought that maybe a better job would suit for his Son in which he hired him to be his Herald (which Triton actually ended up liking his New Royal Job after he didn't agreed but felt like a New Title could suit for the better).
After all, he was much of a Messenger than a Prince, and Mindy always more of a Queen than just a Goddess. So the Two Siblings have their own Titles much to their own Parents' titles.
In Conclusion; Not exactly the Most Perfect Family under the Sea, but much more like a Regal Family with their own Complexity of Godhood. Not Good nor Evil, they're just Neutral.

WIP Wednesday
Helloooo party people!! Thanks for the tags @heybuddy-drabbles @cha-melodius @suseagull04 @gayrootvegetable and @firenati0n!!!
I've been trying to resurrect my long ass fake dating Christmas AU but keep getting distracted by shorter fic ideas. So here is one that is pretty short rn but I'm very fond of!
Arthur takes Henry's hand, leading him the rest of the way to the lone Bernini given their shared passion for mythology. He stands Henry at the foot and crouches beside him as he weaves a tale of the Roman gods, watching as his son's wide eyes capture every detail of the shadowy sculpture – the power in the god's stance, the wind whipping Neptune's hair and beard into a frenzy, Triton underfoot and at his father's command. Henry steps to the right for a different angle then swallows thickly. “Incredible, isn't it?” Arthur asks. His son's cheeks go pink. “Yeah.”
A bit late so some of yall may have already done this!! Tbh I'm getting so bad about keeping up with snippets but it's bc there are so many!! An abundance of fic!! :D
No pressure tagging @sherryvalli @raysletters @read-and-write- @adreamareads @cricketnationrise @formorewishes @ssmtskw @heartitinthesilence @historicallysam @happiness-of-the-pursuit @inexplicablymine @myheartalivewrites and anyone else that wants to share what they're working on! ❤️
