154_Thalassa_and_Pontos.jpg

Medium: Digital
Size: 45X60 inches

THALASSA was the Protogenos or primeval spirit of the sea. Coupling with her male counterpart PONTOS, she spawned the tribes of fish.


Like the other Protogenoi, Thalassa was scarcely personified, instead her form was elemental, the body of the sea itself.


In the fables of Aesop, Thalassa appears as a woman formed of sea water rising up from her native element.
