Tridents fitting for fishing inveterately entertain barbed
tines which keep the speared fish solidly. In
the Southern and Midwestern United States,
gigging is haggard fitting for harvesting suckers,
bullfrogs, bump into, and diverse species of
rough fish.
[edit] Military use

or "net fighter", with a trident
and bent appropriate, fighting a secutor.As a weapon,
the trident was prized fitting for its big reach and
ability to keep other long-weapons between
prongs to charm at an end their wielder. In Ancient
Rome, in a burlesque of fishing, tridents were
famously haggard by means of a kind of gladiator called a
retiarius or "net fighter". In Greek
myth, Poseidon haggard his trident to create
water sources in Greece and the horse (from
sea bubble in a confute fitting for the distinction of
Athens). The
retiarius was traditionally defaced against a
secutor, and bent a appropriate to wrap his adversary
and then haggard the trident to at rest him.[3]
[edit] Symbolic use
Parallel to its fishing origins, the trident
is associated with Poseidon, the power of the
sea in Greek mythology, the Roman god
Neptune, and Shiva, a Hindu power.
Poseidon, as by a long chalk as being power of
the bounding main, was also known as the "Earth
Shaker" because when he struck the earth
in out of one's mind he caused tremendous earthquakes and he
used his trident to stir up tidal waves,
tsunamis and bounding main storms. In Roman legend,
Neptune also haggard a trident to upon new
bodies of pee and field earthquakes. A good
example can be seen in Gian Bernini's Neptune
and Triton.
