OCEANUS

OCEANUS

"Sometimes I stand upon the shore 

Where ocean vaults their effuence pour, 

And troubled waters sigh and shriek 

Of secrets that they dare not speak."

H.P. Lovecraft, Cycle Of Verse: Oceanus

"Look you upon my daughter, mark how fair She is bedight as Cerce. I shall act 

The green Oceanus."

H.P. Lovecraft, Alfredo; A Tragedy

"Okeanos was depicted in ancient Greek vase painting as a bull-horned god with the tail of a serpentine fish in place of legs, similar to his river-god sons."

"In mosaic art he therefore appears simply as a sea-god or the sea personified, with crab-claw horns, and for attributes, a serpent and an oar."

Aaron J. Atsma, The Theoi Project: Greek Mythology
