Okeanos

Well hello, everybody! It's so good to be here as a new member!
My name is Okeanos. I'm 26 years old, and as the title suggests, I am a Cetacia merman who hails from
South Carolina. Ever since I was little I have loved the legend of the mermaid. I have my parents to thank for introducing
me to Disney's "The Little Mermaid" cartoon. Funnily enough, I watched the cartoon before I even saw the
movie!
How did I choose my name, you ask? Well, it's simple! I am named after Oceanus, who in some circles,
was believed by the ancient Greeks and Romans to be the Titan of the Sea. Others consider him to be the
personification of the sea, and in some versions, he is believed to be the primordial Titan God of the
earth-encircling River Okeanos. My name, as it is spelled, is considered to be the proper pronunciation
of the Sea Titan's name.
I love the sea and everything about it and that which it contains, to which I have my experiences growing
up to give thanks for that. My sea-based interests include pirates, merfolk, sea animals, mythological creatures,
and many more. Growing up in Florida, I had the opportunity to be close to the water, as well as visit Weeki
Wachee Springs to see the Little Mermaid show. And seeing how I adore dolphins (especially the Pacific
White-Sided Dolphin), I decided to go the route of becoming a merman with a dolphin tail. I look forward to
meeting so many new people and friends!
