Description
Greek Mythology
Father: Poseidon
Mother: Tritonis
In the mythology of the Libyan Machyles tribe "Pallas" and the "Libyan Athena" were probably twin daughters of "Triton", a Libyan sea-god identified with Poseidon, and "Tritonis", a goddess of the salt-water lake identified with Amphitrite. The story of Athena slaying Pallas was reenacted in an annual festival by the tribes living on the shores of the Tritonis.
Norse Mythology
The Daughters of Aegir
The Daughters of Ægir are the nine daughters of Ægir and Rán, a giant and goddess who both represent the sea in Norse mythology. Their names are poetic terms for different characteristics of ocean waves.
The daughters of Ægir and Rán are nine, and their names are recorded as:
Himinglæva - That through which one can see the heavens (a reference to the transparency of water).
Dúfa - The Pitching One.
Blóðughadda - Bloody (i.e. red) Hair (a reference to red sea foam).
Hefring (or Hevring) - Riser.
Uðr (or Unn) - Frothing Wave.
Hrönn - Welling Wave.
Bylgja - Billow.
