The word trident comes
from the French language trident, which in turn comes
from the Latin tridens or tridentis: tri "three"
and dentes "teeth". Several Indian languages
use a similar word for "trident", trishula
derived from Sanskrit meaning "triple spear".
Parallel to its fishing origins,
the trident is associated with Poseidon, the god of
the sea in Greek mythology, the Roman god Neptune and
Shiva, a Hindu god. In Greek myth, Poseidon used his
trident to create water sources in Greece and the horse
(by striking a camel).
Poseidon, as well as being god of the sea, was also
known as the "Earth Shaker" when he struck
the earth in anger he caused mighty earthquakes and
he used his trident to stir up tidal waves, tsunamis
and sea storms. In Roman myth, Neptune also used a trident
to create new bodies of water and cause earthquakes.
A trident also has references
as:
The Coat of arms of Ukraine; The national emblem of
the Flag of Barbados; Britannia,
the personification of Great Britain, has been depicted
wielding a trident, symbolizing Britain’s naval
power. The US Navy Special Warfare insignia, worn by
members of the US Navy SEALs, contains a trident representing
the 3 aspects (Sea, Air and Land) of SEAL special operations;
The trident or Trishula is the
missile weapon of the Hindu god Shiva |
