Potamoi

The Potamoi (Greek: Ποταμοί, "Rivers") are the gods of rivers in Greek mythology.

Mythology

The river gods were the sons of Oceanus and Tethys and the brothers of the Oceanids.[1] They were also the fathers of the Naiads. The river gods were depicted in one of three forms: a man-headed bull, a bull-headed man with the body of a serpent-like fish from the waist down, or as an arm resting upon an amphora jug pouring water.
