Aegaeon (Aigaion), a son of Uranus by Gaea. Aegaeon and his brothers Gyges and Cottus are known under the name of the Uranids (Hes. Theog. 502, &c.), and are described as huge monsters with a hundred arms (hekatoncheires) and fifty heads (Apollod. i. 1.1; Hes. Theog. 149, &c.). Most writers mention the third Uranid under the name of Briareus instead of Aegaeon, which is explained in a passage of Homer (Il. i. 403, §c.), who says that men called him Aegaeon, but the gods Briareus. On one occasion when the Olympian gods were about to put Zeus in chains, Thetis called in the assistance of Aegaeon, who compelled the gods to desist from their intention (Hom. Il. i. 398, &c.). According to Hesiod (Theog. 154, &c. 617, &c.), Aegaeon and his brothers were hated by Uranus from the time of their birth, in consequence of which they were concealed in the depth of the earth, where they remained until the Titans began their war against Zeus. On the advice of Gaea Zeus delivered the Uranids from their prison, that they might assist him. The hundred-armed giants conquered the Titans by hurling at them three hundred rocks at once, and secured the victory to Zeus, who thrust the Titans into Tartarus and placed the Hecatoncheires at its gates, or, according to others, in the depth of the ocean to guard them (Hes. Theog. 617, &c. 815, &c.). According to a legend in Pansanias (ii. 1.6, ii. 4.7), Briareus was chosen as arbitrator in the dispute between Poseidon and Helios, and adjudged the Isthmus to the former and the Acrocorinthus to the latter. The Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius (i. 1165) represents Aegaeon as a son of Gaea and Pontus and as living as a marine god in the Aegean sea. Ovid (Met. ii. 10) and Philostratus (Vit. Apollon. iv. 6) like-wise regard him as a marine god, while Virgil (Aen. x. 565) reckons him among the giants who stormed Olympus, and Callimachus (Hymn. in Del. 141, &c.), regarding him in the same light, places him under mount Aetna. The Scholiast on Theocritus (Idyll. i. 65) calls Briareus one of the Cyclops. The opinion which regards Aegaeon and his brothers as only personifications of the extraordinary powers of nature, such as are manifested in the violent commotions of the earth, as earth-quakes, volcanic eruptions and the like, seems to explain best the various accounts about them.

Θεός της θάλασσας, γιος του Πόντου και της Γαίας, πατέρας των Νηρηίδων. Από πολλούς αρχαίους συγγραφείς αναφέρεται ως μεγάλος προφήτης και ως πάνσοφος γέροντας, ο οποίος αποκάλυψε στον Ηρακλή πού βρίσκονταν τα χρυσά μήλα των Εσπερίδων. Στον Ομηρο δεν αναφέρεται το όνομά του αλλά αποκαλείται "άλιος γέρων" (= θαλάσσιος γέροντας) (Ιλ. Σ 141).
Nereus, the eldest son of Pontus and Gaea, husband of Doris, daughter of Oceanus,
father of fifty (according to a later account, a hundred) beautiful sea-nymphs,
the Nereids. He is described as a venerable old man, of a kindly disposition towards
mortals, and as dwelling in a resplendent cave in the depths of the Aegean. Like
all gods of water, he had the gift of prophecy and of transforming himself into
any shape he chose to assume. He was represented as an old man with the leaves
of sea-weed for hair and a sceptre or trident. His daughters were likewise benevolent
beings, well disposed to mortals (Il.xviii. 141; Odyss. xxiv. 58). The myths related
of Nereus strongly suggest those told of Glaucus and Proteus.
Doris, a daughter of Oceanus and Thetis, and the wife of her brother Nereus, by whom she became the mother of the Nereides. (Apollod. i. 2.2; Hesiod. Theog. 240, &c.; Ov. Met. ii. 269). The Latin poets sometimes use the name of this marine divinity for the sea itself. (Virg. Eclog. x. 5). One of Doris's daughters, or the Nereides, likewise bore the name of Doris. (Hom. Il. xviii. 45)
