- Triton; plural Tritons
Meaning
The Nereids rejoice upon the vehicles or mounts of Tritons at XXIV.4. The plural matters: the line depicts sea beings in a marine company rather than naming only one individual Triton. The related adjective Τριτώνιος in the same hymn belongs to the water imagery, not to this noun's occurrence count.
