Thalassa - Mythology. Greek An ancient sea goddess; daughter of Ether, the upper air, and Hemera, day. With Pontus, an ancient god of the sea, Thalassa was the mother of the fish and animals of the sea. Thalassa is featured in the stories of classical Greek writers as the form of a woman, made of water. She rises out of the sea and talks with humans who become stranded on her shores. Some say Thalassa was the mother of Aphrodite, for, as the sea, Thalassa carried the goddess out of the ocean after she had formed from the dismembered parts of Uranus.
