These are some of the earliest renderings of Triton I could find.
Heracles wrestling Triton whose body is a blend of eel and fish.
Triton carrying a boy accompanied by a dolphin
Note again the almost snake like lower body
note again the long body
now look at this image of Poseidon with a seahorse
a tritons body with a horse'd forelegs and head
and this Roman Mosaic of a Sea Horse / Hippocampus
Next time Tritons become Ichthyocentaurs
