ΘαλασσαThalassa was the primordial goddess of the sea and the daughter of Aither (Light) and Hemera (Day). Mingled with Pontos, her male counterpart, she produced the fish and other sea creatures. Thalassa was the literal body of the sea and in the fables of Aesop, manifests as a woman formed of sea-water rising from her native element.Thalassa is depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a matronly woman, half-submerged in the sea, with crab-claw horns, seaweed for clothes, and a ship’s oar in her hand. -- source link
