@wandering.legacies: Oceanus in Greek mythology is often mistaken for Poseidon, but he was not the Olympian god of the sea. Oceanus was a Titan, born before Zeus and the Olympians ruled. The ancient Greeks imagined him as a great world-encircling river, a cosmic body of water at the edge of the earth. With Tethys, he was said to be the father of the river gods and the Oceanids, the nymphs of springs, streams, and clouds. So while Poseidon ruled the sea, storms, earthquakes, and sailors, Oceanus belonged to an older layer of Greek myth. He was connected to rivers, freshwater, boundaries, and the ancient cosmic order. This is your quick guide to who Oceanus was, why he mattered, and how he appears in Greek mythology, from Hesiod and Homer to Prometheus Bound. #creatorsearchinsights #greekmythology #greekgods #oceanus #greektitans
