Trident

A TRIDENT is a three-toothed fork or spear. Most famously the Trident was a symbol of Poseidon's (the Greek God of the Sea) power but it has also been linked to other religions and cultures. The Hindu God Shiva is said to have a trident with a stabiliser so that it will fly when thrown as a weapon. Roman gladiators were reputed to use them in the arena in conjunction with a net. Satan is often portrayed with a trident in his possession. The trident is also a symbol of the sea and is the central symbol in the flag of Barbados.
