OCEANUS
WHO IS OCEANUS?
THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF WATER!!
OCEANUS WAS BORN THE SON OF
URANUS AND GAEA, MAKING HIM APART
OF THE TWELVE TITANS. ALTHOUGH
OTHER STORIES ABOUT OCEANUS SAY HE
THAT HE WAS THE CHILD OF CHAOS AND
GAEA.
HE IS THE TITAN GOD OF THE OKEANOS,
AN ENORMOUS RIVER THE ENCIRCLED THE
WORLD AND IT CONNECTS THE WORLD
TO OTHER REALMS. HE WAS ALSO
THOUGHT TO BE THE REASON FOR THE
SALT WATER AND THE FRESH WATER IN
THE WORLD.
THE TWELVE TITANS
THE TWELVE TITANS WERE A POWERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO RULED THE WORLD BEFORE
THE OLYMPIANS. IN THE TWELVE TITANS, THE FIRST GENERATION, WERE SIX BOYS AND SIX GIRLS.
THEY WERE CHARACTERIZED TO BE IMMORTAL GIANTS WITH INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND
KNOWLEDGE. THEY WERE ALL CHILDREN OF GAEA, THE EARTH, AND URANUS, THE HEAVENS.
THEY ALL TOOK THE POWER OF THEIR FATHER, URANUS, AND RULED.
LOVE LIFE AND CHILDREN
OCEANUS MARRIED TETHYS, HIS SISTER. TOGETHER THEY
HAD 3,000 SONS AND 3,000 DAUGHTERS. THE
DAUGHTERS WERE CALLED OCEANIDS AND WERE
SPIRITS OF STREAMS AND SPRINGS WHILE THE SONS
WERE THE SPIRITS OF RIVERS. THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT
OF CHILDREN COULD CAUSE A FLOOD DUE TO A OVER
PRODUCTION OF WATER, BECAUSE OF THIS OCEANUS
AND TETHYS COULD NOT HAVE ANYMORE CHILDREN. AS
A RESULT, THE COUPLE SPLIT.
THE LOOKS
IN ANCIENT GREEK ART, OCEANUS WAS DRAWN OUT TO HAVE BULL HORNS AND INSTEAD OF
LEGS HE HAD THE TAIL OF A SERPENTINE FISH. THIS LOOK WAS CARRIED DOWN TO HIS
CHILDREN. OCEANUS WAS KNOWN TO LOOK AS A SIMPLE SEA GOD.
NOT PARTICIPATING
WHEN THE TITANS WOULD REVOLT
AGAINST THEIR FATHER, CRONUS, IT IS TO
BE BELIEVED THAT OCEANUS WAS THE
ONLY ONE WHO WOULD NOT FOLLOW
THROUGH. DUE TO NEVER PARTICIPATING
IN THE REVOLTS, HE NEVER GOT
IMPRISONED IN TARTUS BY ZEUS WHEN THE
WAR WAS OVER. ACCORDING TO HOMER,
A GREEK POET, OCEANUS ALSO NEVER
ATTENDED THE ASSEMBLY OF THE GODS,
WHICH ZEUS DEMANDED FOR ALL GODS
TO ATTEND.
TWIN?
IT IS BELIEVED BY OTHERS THAT OCEANUS IS IDENTICAL TO OPHION, AN OLDER TITAN WHO
RULED BRIEFLY BEFORE GETTING OVERTHROWN BY CRONUS, OCEANUS'S BROTHER, AND
REHEAR, OCEANUS'S SISTER.
SHORES OF OCEANUS
SARPEDON, AN ISLAND LOCATED NEAR ERYTHIA
AND THE GARDEN OF HESPERIDES, WAS
SURROUNDED BY OCEANUS. IN THE NORTHERN
STREAM OF OCEANUS IS THE LAND OF
HYPERBORENS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT WHO EVER LIVES
HERE DURING THE WINTER TIME WILL LIVE A LONG
TIME AND BE FREE OF WARS AND DISEASE. WHILE IN
THE SOUTHERN SHORES OF OCEANUS IS LAND OF
ETHIOPIANS STRETCHING FROM THE FARTHEST EAST
TO THE FARTHEST WEST.
THE MARFORIO
THIS STATUE IS KNOWN TO BE ON OF THE TALKING STATUES IN ROME. THE SCULPTURE WAS
CREATED IN THE FIRST CENTURY OUT OF MARBLE TO BE IDENTIFIED AS OCEANUS. THE STATUE IS
LOCATED IN THE COURTYARD OF THE PALAZZO DE CONSERVATORI.

Oceanus, the Titan god born of Uranus and Gaea, is the original source of water in Greek mythology. He is the god of the Okeanos, a vast river encircling the world and connecting realms. Married to Tethys, his sister, they had thousands of children, Oceanids and river spirits. Oceanus, depicted in ancient art with bull horns and a fish tail, remained neutral in Titan revolts and never faced consequences, unlike his brethren. Some even believe he is akin to Ophion, an older Titan. Explore the myths and legends surrounding Oceanus, the divine figure revered as the embodiment of water.
