Summary:: -- Neptune was the name that ancient Romans gave to the god of the sea and earthquakes.
He was the brother of Jupiter and of Pluto . After the defeat of their father Saturn , the three brothers divided the world in three
parts to be ruled by one of the three brothers. Jupiter took the sky, Neptune the sea and Pluto the underworld. Neptune had the
reputation for having a violent temper. Tempests and earthquakes were a reflection of his furious rage. He was depicted as a
bearded men holding a trident and seated in a seashell drawn by sea-horses. One day Neptune saw the water nymph
Amphitrite dancing in the island of Naxos and fell in love with her. He promptly asked her to marry him but unfortunately
she refused. However, not discouraged by Amphitrite refusal, Neptune sent one of his servant, a dolphin to look for her. The dolphin
found her, and pleaded Neptune's cause so persuasively that she changed her mind. As a reward for finding and returning Amphitrite
to him, Neptune immortalized the dolphin by placing it in the heavens as the constellation Dolphinus. Neptune and Amphitrite had
several children. Among them was Triton whose name was given in 1846 by William Lassell to the principal moon of the planet Neptune.
