CETO

Ceto

Keto — Latinized as Ceto — is a primordial sea goddess in Greek mythology, the daughter of Gaia and Pontus. Keto was also variously called Crataeis and Trienus, and was occasionally conflated by scholars with the goddess Hecate . As a mythological figure, she is most notable for bearing by Phorcys a host of monstrous children, collectively known as the Phorcydes. The asteroid 65489 Ceto was named after her, and its satellite after Phorcys.
