In Greek mythology, the Cercopes (Greek: Κέρκωπες, plural of Κέρκωψ, from κέρκος (n.) kerkos "tail") were mischievous forest creatures who lived in Thermopylae or on Euboea but roamed the world and might turn up anywhere mischief was afoot. They were two brothers, but their names are given variously:Passalus (Πάσσαλος) and Acmon (Ἄκμων) or Aclemon Basalas (Βάσαλας) and Achemon (Ἄχημων) Olus (Ὤλος) and Eurybatus (Εὐρύβατος) Candolus (Κάνδωλος) and Atlantus (Ἄτλαντος) Sillus (Σίλλος) and Triballus (Τρίβαλλος)

In Greek mythology, Oceanus was a Titan son of Uranus and Gaia, the husband of his sister the Titan Tethys, and the father of the river gods and the Oceanids, as well as being the great river which encircled the entire world.
