Brief Bio

Pontus, a primordial deity in Greek mythology, was a personification of the deep sea.  He was one of the earliest beings, born from the primordial void, Chaos.  Often depicted as a powerful, watery force, Pontus is the embodiment of the vast, unexplored depths of the ocean, and the source of most, if not all, of the primordial sea creatures.  He fathered numerous sea-nymphs, monsters, and other sea deities, playing a crucial role in shaping the early world.  Though not as prominent as some other Olympian gods, Pontus represents a vital, ancient force of nature.
