water deity
Ocean's divine ruler
A water deity is a god or goddess associated with bodies of water—oceans, rivers, lakes, springs, or rain.
Nearly every mythology includes them: Poseidon ruled the Greek seas, river nymphs inhabited freshwater streams, and rain gods controlled agricultural fertility.
Water deities often govern not just water itself but what it enables: fishing, safe passage, life-giving floods.
