THAUMAS

Thaumas was the son of Pontus and Earth and Phorcy's brother. He wedded Helectra, Oceanus' daughter, who gave birth to Iris, Harpies and Arce. People gave him the name of "Thaumas" (=Wonder) because they related him with the clouds and other meteorological phenomena which always excited their admiration (wonder).
