Oceanus was personified as the god Titan, whose consort was the aquatic sea goddess Tethys.

In Greek mythology, Ēōs (;, or, Éōs, " dawn ", or ; also Αὔως, Aýōs in Aeolic ) is a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus.

One child of Gaia and Pontus is Nereus ( Old Man of the Sea ), who marries Doris, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and has Nereids, the fifty nymphs of the sea, one of whom is Thetis.

Amalthea is sometimes represented as the goat who suckled the infant-god in a cave in Cretan Mount Aigaion (" Goat Mountain "), sometimes as a goat-tending nymph of uncertain parentage ( the daughter of Oceanus, Haemonius, Olenos, or — according to Lactantius — Melisseus ), who brought him up on the milk of her goat.

On a fragmentary archaic vessel of circa 580 BC ( British Museum 1971. 11-1. 1 ), among the gods arriving at the wedding of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis, is a fish-tailed Oceanus, with a fish in one hand and a serpent in the other, gifts of bounty and prophecy.

Hecateus of Abdera writes that the Oceanus of the Hyperboreans is neither the Arctic Ocean nor Western Ocean, but the sea located to the north of the ancient Greek world, called " the most admirable of all seas " by Herodotus ( lib.

The Bibliotheca ( 3. 12. 6 ) informs that the river Asopus was a son of Oceanus and Tethys or according to Acusilaus of Poseidon by Pero ( otherwise unknown to us ) or according to yet others of Zeus by Eurynome, not making it clear whether he knows there is more than one river named Asopus.

Like most river-gods, he is a son of Oceanus and Tethys.

The Melia thus singled out is one of these daughters of Oceanus.

Aethra is also the name of one of the Oceanids, the 3000 daughters of Oceanus and Tethys.

Oceanus Procellarum (; Latin for " Ocean of Storms ") is a vast lunar mare on the western edge of the near side of Earth's Moon.

It is the only one of the lunar maria to be called an " Oceanus " ( ocean ).

This is due to its size ; Oceanus Procellarum is the largest of the maria, stretching more than across its north-south axis and covering roughly.

Unlike the other lunar maria, however, Oceanus Procellarum is not contained within a single well-defined impact basin ( evidence for a " Procellarum basin " of impact origin is equivocal ).

To the northeast, Oceanus Procellarum is separated from Mare Imbrium by the Carpathian Mountains.

With a diameter of 1146 km, Mare Imbrium is second only to Oceanus Procellarum in size among the maria, and it is the largest mare associated with an impact basin.

Iapetus ' wife is normally a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys named Clymene or Asia.

Oceanus declares that he is willing to surrender his power to Neptune ( the new god of the sea ) because Neptune is more beautiful ( this is worth bearing in mind in relation to the Romantic idea that beauty is paramount ).

In Greek mythology, Phoroneus ( Φορωνεύς ) was a culture-hero of the Argolid, fire-bringer, primordial king of Argos and son of the river god Inachus and either Melia, the primordial ash-tree nymph or Argia, the embodiment of the Argolid itself: " Inachus, son of Oceanus, begat Phoroneus by his sister Argia ," wrote Hyginus, in Fabulae 143.

According to Hesiod in the Theogony, Peitho was the daughter of the Titans Tethys and Oceanus, which would make her an Oceanid and therefore sister of such notable goddesses as Tyche, Doris, Metis, and Calypso.

Tethys was both sister and wife of Oceanus.

They include Saturn ( king of the gods ), Ops ( his wife ), Thea ( his sister ), Enceladus ( god of war ), Oceanus ( god of the sea ), Hyperion ( the god of the sun ) and Clymene ( a young goddess ).

Uranus mated with Gaia to create twelve Titans: Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetos, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys and Cronus ; three cyclopes: Brontes, Steropes and Arges ; and three Hecatonchires: Kottos, Briareos, and Gyges.

In the family of the Titans, Oceanus and Tethys marry and have three thousand rivers ( including the Nile and Skamandar ) and three thousand Okeanid Nymphs ( including Electra, Calypso, and Styx ).

In Greek mythology, Metis ( Μῆτις, " wisdom ," " skill ," or " craft ") was of the Titan generation and, like several primordial figures, an Oceanid, in the sense that Metis was born of Oceanus and Tethys, of an earlier age than Zeus and his siblings.

The name Europa occurs in Hesiod's long list of daughters of primordial Oceanus and Tethys.

From Cronus, of the race of Titans, the Olympian gods have their birth, and Hera mentions twice in Iliad book XIV her intended journey " to the ends of the generous earth on a visit to Oceanus, whence the gods have risen, and Tethys our mother who brought me up kindly in their own house.

Amphitrite was a daughter of Nereus and Doris ( and thus a Nereid ), according to Hesiod's Theogony, but of Oceanus and Tethys ( and thus an Oceanid ), according to the Bibliotheca, which actually lists her among both of the Nereids and the Oceanids.

Some Greek sources say that he was the son of Gaia and Oceanus ; however, ancient Greeks generally believed with Hesiod that Tethys and Oceanus were the parents of all three thousand river gods.

Though Jerome and Eusebius ( both citing Castor of Rhodes ), and as even late as 1812 John Lemprière euhemeristically asserted that he was the first king of Argos, and Robert Graves that he was a descendant of Iapetus, most modern mythologists understand Inachus as one of the river gods, all sons of Oceanus and Tethys and thus to the Greeks part of the pre-Olympian or " Pelasgian " mythic landscape ; in Greek iconography, Walter Burkert notes, the rivers are represented in the form of a bull with a human head or face.
