Ready for your daily dose of knowledge? A trident, or three-pronged spear, is most recognizable as the weapon of Poseidon. In case you're not familiar with good ol' Poseidon, he was one of the 12 Olympians of ancient Greece; the god of sea, earthquakes, and horses (because that combination makes total sense.) The etymology of the word trident comes from the French word of the same name, which comes from the Latin word "tridentis", roughly translated to "three teeth". But there is also a Sanskrit origin- "trishula", which approximates to "three thorns". This trusty weapon could be used to fish, pillage, or play Ariel father's in the Little Mermaid. Our custom LEGO version is much smaller than the real deal and is better suited for your Role Playing Game, MOC, and general LEGO needs. Bonus points if you use it as a cocktail fork!
