| ENT_THALASSA | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 233: Thalassa (the sea-surface) is named as the mother of Phorcys and Ceto in the Theogony's genealogical system: "Pontus begat old Nereus... after that Thaumas and proud Phorcys, born of the same mother, Ceto with the fair cheeks and Eurybia" — Thalassa provides the maternal sea-element alongside Pontus's paternal sea-element; primary source for Thalassa as a named entity |
