Was the trident ever actually used as a weapon of war? I’ve only ever seen the trident depicted as being used by mythological figures like Poseidon or Lady Britannia.

Tridents were sometimes used in war. See my past answer in https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/blckca/why_were_trident_and_pitchforklike_weapons_never/ for discussion and some examples.
