Oceanus/Ogenus/Ogen (m), daemon of the sea, which in Greek mythology was an enormous river that encircles the world (and is therefore fresh water!). Upper body of a muscular man with a long beard and horns made to look like the claws of a crab. lower body of a serpent. his consort is Tethys. in some versions, Oceanus and Tethys are the primordial gods.

Tethys (f), consort of Oceanus, mother of the Potamoi (river nymphs) and Oceanids (sea nymphs)

Ophion (m) see part i. consort of Eurynome, daughter of Oceanus, and in some versions, they are the original gods.

Themis, (f) ‘the lady of good counsel’, personification of divine order, fairness, law, natural law, custom. symbol: scales of justice. “divine laws” rather than human ordinance. that which is put in place. foresaw the future, an Oracle of Delphi, goddess of divine justice, sometimes shown with sword. not wrathful: that’s Nemesis. with Zeus, mother of Natura, goddess of the forest; the Horae; Astraea; the Moirai.

Cronus swallowed his children so they couldn’t overthrow him, so Rhea, Uranus, and Gaia fed him a stone in swaddling clothes to hide Zeus away. her attendants, the Kouretes/Korybantes and Dactyls acted as Zeus’s bodyguards. Roman: Ops

the Dactyls (m, plural) “fingers”. an archaic race of male beings associated with the Great Mother (Cybele/Rhea). 10 spirit-like men. both ancient smiths and healing magicians. in some myths, they are in Hephaestus’s employ and teach metalworking, mathematics, and the alphabet to humans. Anchiale, a Cretan nymph, knew her time of delivery had come, so she went tot he sacred cave of Mt Ida. As she squatted in labor, she dug her fingers into the earth (Gaia), which brought forth the Idaean Dactyls. When Greeks offered a most solemn oath, they would press their hands against the earth as they uttered it. 

3 Phrygian Dactyls in the service of the Great Mother as Adraste, and invented metalworking:

Acmon (the anvil)

Damnameneus (the hammer)

Celmis (casting)

An Idaean Dactyl, Herakles (thumb) originated the Olympic games by instigating a race among his four finger brothers:

Aeonius (forefinger)

Epimedes (middle finger)

Jasius (ring/healing finger)

Idas/Acesides (little finger)
