Poseidon and Amphitrite had a son, Triton, who was a merman, and a daughter, Rhodos (if this Rhodos was not actually fathered by Poseidon on Halia or was not the daughter of Asopus as others claim). According to the mythographer Apollodorus , Benthesikyme was the daughter of Poseidon and Amphitrite.

The prophecies have great impact upon Macbeth. As the audience later learns, he has considered usurping the throne of Scotland. Several non-Shakespearean moments are thought to have been intruded into Macbeth sometime c. 1618; these include all of Act 3, Scene 5 and Act 4, Scene 1, ℓℓ 39–43 and ℓℓ 125–132, as well as two songs.
