Hi there, this is a great question! To get you started here are some similar questions from the past (this is not to discourage further answers, by the way).

• Were tridents ever used in war?

• Have a militaries tried to use multipronged spears?

• could a gladiator beat a handful of roman guards/warriors?

Since those threads are older/locked, feel free to tag users here with a question (like so: hey /u/jschooltiger can you tell me more about ______).

BONUS MOD NOTE: The first responder to this question to reference Anchorman (except as part of a comprehensive, well sourced answer) will get a trident run through them (and a ban!).
