Aegaeon is a minor deity in Greek mythology, often associated with the sea. He is sometimes considered a personification of the waves and is linked to the primordial sea god Oceanus. Aegaeon is also known for his connection to the Titan family, particularly as a son of Uranus and Gaia. In some myths, Aegaeon is depicted as a giant with a hundred arms, representing the power and chaos of the ocean. He is sometimes identified with the creature Briareus, who is also known for his many arms and strength. Aegaeon's role emphasizes the ancient Greeks' reverence for the sea and its unpredictable nature.
