Amphitrite the Sea Queen
The mermaid micronation of Merreminde is ruled by Queen
Amphitrite. The links at the bottom of this post will take you
to more stamps from Merreminde. This particular issue is
denominated at 1000 Shells. The Merreminde Ocean Mail
delivery system has an Express Mail Service, where parcels
are trucked by dolphins to mermaids living in sea caves in
remote areas of the coast.
Merreminde lies in the Southeast portion of the Continent
of Amphora, and has the most rugged terrain in all of Amphora.
THE SEA GODDESS
Amphitrite was originally the name of the bride of the Greek
God Poseidon, a divinity both of the salt sea and of springs.
Amphitrite was a dolphin mermaid Goddess.
The Greeks used to call themselves the Pelopidae, or People
of the Porpoise, after their King Pelops. The Peloponnesian
Peninsula is named for Pelops.
The rites of Delphi are named for the dolphin, as delphys means
dolphin in Greek.

Virtual Stamps From Merreminde Post
These stamps from the Merreminde Post are issued in two
sheets, for eight designs altogether. They are Virtual Stamps,
which is to say, Cyberstamps, which by one definition indicates
that they exist only in cyberspace. Read more about Virtual
Stamps in my post on Sheet B from the 'Sea Queen' series.
These sheetlets of stamps are among my digital serial art
faux postage stamps, where each stamp is toned and
saturated in color varieties generated on computer software.
