History

Ceto[1] or Cetus was a sea monstress.[3]

Mating with Phorcys, the spawn of Set, she birthed Zirnitra, the Sirens, Scylla, Echidna, the Graeae, and the Gorgons[1] (Euryale, Medusa, Stheno).[2][3]

In the time of ancient Greece, Ceto fought and was defeated by Perseus using Medusa's head. Ceto was among the monsters brought back to life by Eurystheus and Achelous to unleash against Hercules.[4]

Notes

  • Ceto is a primordial sea goddess and daughter of Gaea in Greek mythology, while Cetus is usually thought of as a separate male sea monster.
