Amphitrite, английский
This greek goddess, who was one of the oceanides, personifies the sea, of which she is queen. she is usually depicted in a seashell chariot drawn by marine animals, and homer calls her “she who beats the billows against the rocks, and has the creatures of the deep in her care.” according to legend, she was abducted by dolphins and carried to poseidon who married her. she is an important figure in the “crossing-the-line” ceremony. amphitrite is not to be confused with aphrodite, who is not a sea-goddess despite the legend of her origin.
Amphibious withdrawal, английский
The seaward extraction of friendly forces from a hostile or potentially hostile shore. this is the most complex of all military maneuvers.
