In the attested genealogical tradition Triton is presented as the child of the Olympian sea-deities Poseidon and Amphitrite. Sources identify him by parentage and household placement rather than a separate cosmic origin narrative; he appears within the domestic and retinue structure of Poseidon's household and is named in genealogical lists and as the father of at least one mythic figure (Calliste).
The supplied sources identify Triton by the Ancient Greek name Τρίτων and note that he lived with his parents in a golden palace on the sea-bottom. Later iconography recorded in the sources commonly depicts him with a conch shell. The provided materials do not offer a fuller, consistent physical description beyond these elements.
Within the supplied excerpts Triton is characterized as a sea-god and member of Poseidon's household; no detailed catalogue of specific powers, supernatural acts, or typical behaviors is given in the provided material. The association with a conch shell is attested in later depiction but the sources provided do not explicitly ascribe particular actions (e.g., sounding the conch) to Triton.

Poseidon
Poseidon is a principal deity of the ancient Greek pantheon, counted among the Twelve Olympians; he presides over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses and functions as protector of seafarers and guardian of cities and colonies.

Amphitrite
Amphitrite is an ancient Greek sea-divinity, queen of the sea and consort of the sea-god Poseidon; in poetry her name is often used metonymically for the sea itself. She is counted among the daughters of Nereus and Doris in Hesiod and in some accounts is also listed among the Oceanids, and appears chiefly in mythic narrative and iconography rather than as an independent civic cult figure.
