04/23/2012: Oceanus

Oceanus was an ancient Greek god, a titan, personification of the ocean. 

They [Ouranos (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth)] became the first pair of parents and brought into the world Okeanos(“Ocean”) and Tethys(“Nurse”). These in their turn became a parental pair, begetting Kronos, Rhea, Phorkys, and the other Titans
