In Greek mythology, Phorcys or Phorcus (/;f;;rs;s/; Ancient Greek: ;;;;;;) is a primordial sea god, generally cited (first in Hesiod) as the son of Pontus and Gaia (Earth). According to the Orphic hymns, Phorcys, Cronus and Rhea were the eldest offspring of Oceanus and Tethys.[1][2] Classical scholar Karl Kerenyi conflated Phorcys with the similar sea gods Nereus and Proteus.[3] His wife was Ceto, and he is most notable in myth for fathering by Ceto a host of monstrous children. In extant Hellenistic-Roman mosaics, Phorcys was depicted as a fish-tailed merman with crab-claw forelegs and red, spiky skin. - from an encyclopedia.
Phorcys
Phorcys is as wild as the sea
During a storm.
His presence
Is catastrophic
Yet meaningful.
He is surrounded
By a wall of wind
And birds fly
Around him.
Like a red-skinned sailor,
He brings chaos
And passion
Everywhere.
Phorcys
