In Hesiod's Theogony, Pontus and Gaia produced five sea deities: Nereus, Thaumas, Phorcys, Ceto, and Eurybia. These siblings represent the ancient powers of the sea, predating the Olympian order.
The sea god Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra produced Iris, goddess of the rainbow, and the Harpies, winged storm spirits. Hesiod's Theogony names them as siblings born of sea and sky.
Ceto and Thaumas were siblings born to Pontus and Gaia. Thaumas fathered Iris and the Harpies, continuing the lineage of sea-born wonders.
