Myths about the Roman God Oceanus
Homer makes Juno visit Oceanus at the remotest limits of the
earth, and acknowledge him and Tethys as the parents of the
gods, adding, that she herself had been brought up under
their tuition. Many of his children are mentioned in
poetical story, whose names it would be endless to
enumerate, and, indeed, they are only the appellations of
the principal rivers of the world. Oceanus was described
with a bull's head, to represent the rage and bellowing of
the ocean when agitated by storms. Oceanus and Tethys are
ranked in the highest classes of sea-deities, and as
governors in chief over the whole world of waters.
