Ceto
Ceto embodied the ocean’s duality. While the sea offered beauty and bounty, it also harbored immense power and hidden perils. As the Titan goddess of sea monsters, whales, and large sharks, she personified this duality. She wasn’t a benevolent figure, but a powerful force that demanded respect and caution from those who dared to navigate her domain.
Residence: The Sea
Parents: Pontus and Gaia
Siblings: Phorcys, Nereus, Thaumas, Eurybia
Consort: Phorcys
Children: The Gorgons, The Graeae, Ladon and Echidna
Ceto, wife and sister to the Titan sea god Phorcys, wasn’t known for gentle breezes and playful dolphins. Their union instead produced a nightmarish brood – Echidna, the monstrous mother of all things venomous, Scylla, a six-headed terror who preyed on sailors, Ladon, the serpent guarding the golden apples, the grotesque Graeae who shared a single eye and tooth, and the Gorgon sisters, infamous for their petrifying gaze.
