OcSauus. In Greek mythology, originally the ancient river of the world which... flows around and hounds the earth and sea, it- self unbounded and flowing back into itself. Prom Oceanus arise all seas, rivers, streams, and fountains. HerSdotus is the first to oppose this view [ii 23, iv 8, 36]. To Homer, Oceanus is the beginning of all things, even of the gods : he^ the original father, and his wife, Tethys, the original mother. With her he lives, a gentle and hospitable old man, in the farthest west away from the world and its doings. He keeps aloof even from the assemblies of the gods, although river gods and nymphs appear there.
