Trito

A mythical lake near the Mediterranean coast of Libya.

Lake Trito was named after the half-fish, half-man shaped god, Triton, who guards the lake; the goddess Athene (Athena) is often called Tritogeneia because after she sprang from Zeus’ head, she was taken to the lake Trito and nurtured by the nymphs of the lake; in this way she is also referred to as Tritonian Athene; also called the Tritonian Lake.
