Ceto was the mother of the Phorcydes, a group of monsters sired by the primordial sea god Phorcys (son of Okeanos and Tethys). Those monsters were Ladon, The Gorgons, The Graeae and Echidna (mother of monsters). Ceto herself was a sea monster and her name shares the same root as "Cetus" (a giant fish or whale) a generic name used for sea monsters throughout Greek mythology. The word "cetacian" (meaning "about or concerning whales" or the family name of whales) comes from there.
