Oceanus is a River?! Gods, Creatures & N...

Liv Albert
About this episode

There's a god or nymph for everything! The many Titans, gods, nymphs, and creatures of the waters of Greek mythology... Oceanus, Nereus, Oceanids, and Nereids.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
