Powers: Oceanus is a titan with the ability to control rivers, lakes, ponds etc. In the Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful giant deities bigger than the gods who would replace them that ruled during the legendary and long Golden Age. The twelve Titans were ruled by the youngest, Kronos, who overthrew their father, Ouranos, to appease their mother, Gaia.
Pontus is an ancient primordial god. Who is the personification of water and the First sea god and Father of all sea creatures and is very much stronger than Poseidon since he is one of the Protogenoi.
He was also the god who regulated the heavenly bodies which rose from and set into his waters. According to one version, he was born by the union of the primal gods Chaos and Gaea, sanctified by god Eros.
Another version has it that he was one of the twelve Titans, thus a son of Gaea and Uranus. There is a key difference between Poseidon and Oceanus. While Poseidon was the god who was able to control the sea, Oceanus was actually looked at as the deity that physically represented the sea. Oceanus personified the sea.
Uranus is the sky god and first ruler. He is the son of Gaea, who created him without help. However, when geography became more known and accurate to the Greeks, he was placed to represent more stranger and unknown waters of Atlantic and Indian Ocean while Mediterranean Sea was ruled by a younger god Poseidon and rivers, fountains, streams and rain waters were controlled by the titan's sons and daughters.
Oceanus was, according to most authors, a first descendant of Uranus and Gaea and was married to his sister Tethys. Together they gave birth to three thousand Potamoi or river gods and Oceanids , known as nymphs of rivers, lakes, streams, fountains and wells which never ran dry. But according to Ovid, Oceanus is said to be one of the primeval deities, born alongside Gaea.
Unlike his other brothers, Oceanus, according to Apollodorus, never participated in plotting nor castration of his father Uranus. He was also not interested and never joined his brothers in the war against younger Olympian gods. Unlike Prometheus and Epimetheus , who had sided with the Olympians during the war, he rather withdrew himself from the conflict.
And, because of it, he was never imprisoned in Tartarus by Zeus when the war, where the Titans had lost, was over. Manage consent.
