Hi! I was wondering if you have any information on Amphitrite. I'm interested in working with her but have found very limited sources in regards to worship and such. If you know of anything that could be useful I'd really appreciate it. If not pls don't worry. Thank you so much! I hope the rest of your week is wonderful :) 🐚🌿

Unfortunately, because we’re dealing with an Ancient religion information is going to be scarce esp with non-olympian deities. Also not all the gods were actively worshiped or had a few small cults. Not every god is treated like Apollo or Athena. 

So when you decide to work with a lesser deity, you have to be okay with getting a little creative. Which personally i find exciting because you essentially have more wiggle room to really get your hands dirty a build a unique worship. But you know that’s just me. I like to customize everything. xD

You might also want to look more into Poseidon and sea deities in Ancient Greece in general. Sometimes you can find information by not looking directly into the deity you’re researching, but instead those around them and specific topics that they might be associated with. 

Here are some helpful links for you:

The statuette of this goddess of the sea was designed by the sculptor Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié to be cast in silver as the centerpiece for a table of the Duke of Santonia in 1878. Subsequently, Christolf et Cie., a silver company, had several ivory statuettes carved by Emile-Philippe Scalliet based on Mercié’s model. This example was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle held in Paris in 1900. The figure is made from three pieces of carved ivory joined together. The two arms are separate sections, with the joins concealed by metal adornments at the mid-upper arms. A pearl is attached to the figure’s chest, and two more can be found on the metal base. Four porpoises decorate each corner of the jasper base.

The desire to transcend the boundaries between different art forms had led Klinger to sculpture. He returned from a visit to the Greek island of Syros with an old marble step from which he planned to sculpt a half-length figure; it was only while he was working that he decided to add the draped legs. The idea of calling her after the Greek sea-goddess, “the one surrounded by sea,” may have come from the provenance of the stone. Contemporaries explained that the arms were missing because of the original dimensions of the stone, however there are other examples of Klinger’s interest in the problems of the human torso, and in this he comes close to the pioneers of modernism. However, this emphasis on form and material runs contradictory to the lifelike, subtly naturalistic treatment of the flesh and the light, flowing draperies here — all the more so since Klinger replaces the physical ideals of classical sculpture with the features of a contemporary town-dweller.
