LOVE!!  Is it mallard or rouen?  I can't tell from the pic, but looks like a Rouen from my perspective.

 

I resisted!  Thank goodness!  And it was hard. There were some cuties in there.

Poseidon is the name of my dark (blue?) campbell drake.  It's why I'd love to keep the theme going. We'll have Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Leia....and Poseidon, Calypso and ____.

Circe- Goddess of magic, daughter of the sun.  Not really water... but still cool.

 

Odeysseus-  He had a "relationship" with Circe and I believe Calypso.

In Greek mythology, Tethys (Greek: Τηθύς), daughter of Uranus and Gaia[1] was an archaic Titaness and aquatic sea goddess, invoked in classical Greek poetry but not venerated in cult. Tethys was both sister and wife of Oceanus.[2] She was mother of the chief rivers of the world known to the Greeks, such as the Nile, the Alpheus, the Maeander, and about three thousand daughters called the Oceanids.[3]Considered as an embodiment of the waters of the world she also may be seen as a counterpart of Thalassa, the embodiment of the sea.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethys_(mythology)

In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite (Ἀμφιτρίτη) was a sea-goddess and wife of Poseidon.[1]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitrite
