10.16 Trident

The Greco-Roman Trident is a three pronged symbol (ψ) which is representative of the three dens (homes) of the Roman Empire (i.e., the Island of Crete, the Island of Sicily, and the Island of Greenland). The name Trident was allegedly derived from the Latin word “tridens” or “tridentis”—“tri” meaning "three" and “dentes” meaning "teeth". While the reference to “three teeth” is likely symbolic of the Beast of Greenland, the term “Trident” is evidently a reference to the “tri dens” or “3 dens” of the Greco-Roman Empire. According to modern historical accounts, the first Trident was made on the Island of Rhodes, the birthplace of Greco-Roman military and naval ingenuity. Consequently, the Greek sea god Poseidon, the Roman sea god Neptune, and the female personification of Roman Britain, Britannia, are all classically depicted bearing a Trident. Because so-called Ancient Egypt is historical cover for the Roman Empire, the Greco-Roman Trident is depicted on the gold Octadrachm coin featuring Ptolemy III Euergetes (246–222 BC), the third king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Because the religion of Hinduism is Greco-Roman in origin, its gods Durga, Kali, Lavanasura, Prathyangira, Sarabha, and Shiva all wield a Trishula, the Indian name for Trident.
