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
