Benthesikyme and Cymopoleia. Have you ever heard about them? They were the Greek goddesses of the surf. There are several water deities in ancient Greek mythology. They ruled oceans, rivers, lakes, fountains, streams, underworld sea monsters, and even wells. But Benthesikyme and Cymopoleia were different. They had the power to generate swells, and they had in common the fact that they were both daughters of Poseidon.
