Triton was half human and half fish (merman). Poseidon and Amphitrite daughters were Rhode and Benthesicyme.
Even though Poseidon was married he had other the "eye" for other women as well (like Zeus). This made Amphitrite very sad, but she stayed faithful to Poseidon. Poseidon had kids with Gorgon Medusa. One of his kids from her was named Pegasus. Pegasus was a flying horse. Poseidon also had many other kids from other women. Some of these include: Theseus, Eumolpus, Polyphemus, Orion, Proteus, Agenor, Europs, and Pelias.
