She is the daughter of the Titans Pontus and Gaea, and the personification of all the dangers of the sea. Her spouse was Phorcys, with whom she had a number of children. These were regarded as monsters and known as Phorcydes. The Phorcydes included Echidna, the Gorgons (the three sisters Euryale, Stheno and Medusa), the Graeae, and Ladon. Sometimes, the monster Scylla was also considered a child of Keto. When the legends of gods began to fade, Keto grew bored and looked for mischief to fill her time. She used her power and gifted humans she had saved with inordinate abilities, and as payment, they would serve her and bring her souls.
