In Greek mythology, Ceto (/ˈsiːtoʊ/; Ancient Greek: or 'whale'[1]) may refer to three divine women:
- Ceto, a primordial sea goddess and daughter of Pontus (Sea) and Gaia (Earth).[2] She was the mother of the Phorcydes by her brother Phorcys.[3]
- Ceto, a "naiad daughter of Oceanos" and thus one of the Oceanids. Her mother was probably the Titaness Tethys.[1] Ceto bore Helios a daughter, Astris.[4]
- Ceto, the Nereid of sea-monsters[5] and one of the 50 sea nymph daughters of the "Old Man of the Sea" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[6]
