The sea it self.
Bithynia and Pontus, two areas which were unified into a single provinces by the Romans, are now part of Turkey. Bythynia was in north-western Turkey and is now in the Asian part of the region of Marmara and the western part of the Black Sea Region. Pontus was in north-eastern Turkey and is now in the easternmost part of the Black Sea Region and the coastal part of the Eastern Anatolia Region.
Pontus didn't "live" anywhere. He was the personification of the Ocean, the father of all waters in the Greek world. He didn't live in the sea - he WAS the sea.
Ceto goddess of the dangers of the sea/sea monsters. Eurybia goddess of the mastery of the seas. Both daughters of Pontus and Gaia.
Greek sea god. Son of Gaea
