In Greek mythology, Triton is the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite and lives with them in a golden palace in the depths of the sea. He rides the waves on horses and sea monsters and he carries a twisted conch shell, upon which he blows either violently or gently, to stir up or calm the waves. Triton is represented as having the body of a man with the tail of a fish, but sometimes also with the forefeet of a horse.

He's not lying, just a bit confused. Poseidon is also known as Neptune and in Greek mythology, Triton is a god of the sea, the son of Poseidon (Neptune); usually portrayed as having the head and trunk of a man and the tail of a fish.

Triton was a sea god, but, he was the SON of Neptune. Neptune was the Roman name for Poseidon.

Triton is the son of Poseidon. He is sort of the oceanic equivilant of Hermes.

Well, Poseidon is like the god of the ocean and is more of a Greek mythology character, while Triton is more like a King of the sea...so they are relatively the same.

No, but he's close. See previous posts.
I wouldn't call that lying, especially if he's just a little confused. Greek mythology has a lot of names and some similar people, and it's sometimes easy to get people mixed up.
He's in the right ballpark.
