The Classical Gods of Ancient Greece

PONTUS

Greek God

Also known as Pontos

Primordial God of the Sea

He is not just a God of the Sea. He is the sea, born of Earth Mother Goddess Gaia.

But after a few too many mother’s hugs, Gaia gave birth to several of his children — all sea deities to keep him company. These included Thaumas and Nereus.

Any other information seems to have been washed away.
