Gaius Julius Hyginus described her in the preface to his "Fabulae" as daughter of Aether and Hemera ("Fab. Praef.", 2). With her male counterpart Pontus, she spawned the storm gods and the tribes of fish. The couple were later replaced by the other marine pairs, Oceanus and Tethys, Poseidon and Amphitrite. Nevertheless, fables were devoted to her by Aesop and she was to be depicted in both artistic and literary works during the Common Era.
