1 Φαίηκες
Φαίηκες: the Phaeacians, a fabulous people related to the gods, dwelling in Scheria, where they lived a life of ease, averse to war and devoted to sea-faring. The ships in which they escort guests to their homes, however distant, are themselves possessed of intelligence to find the way. The names of nearly all the Phaeacians mentioned are significant of the love of ships, not excepting that of Nausicaa ( ναῦς), the most charming of them all, Od. 5.34, Od. 6.4, Od. 8.244 ff.A Homeric dictionary (Greek-English) (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ομηρικό λεξικό) > Φαίηκες

2 Ὠκεανός
Ὠκεανός: Oceanus, distinguished from the sea. (θάλασσα, πόντος, ἅλς) as a mighty stream (ποταμός, Il. 18.607, Il. 20.7; δόος Ὠκεανοῖο, Il. 16.151; cf. Milton's ‘ocean stream’) encircling the whole Earth, Il. 18.607. The constellations (excepting the Great Bear, which in Greek latitudes does not dip below the horizon) are conceived as sinking below Oceanus and emerging from it on the other side of the Earth, as they set and rise. Beyond Ocean is the entrance to the nether world, and Elysium is on its hither bank, Od. 10.508, Od. 4.568. (In the cut, which represents a design of the shield of Achilles, the outer rim [5] indicates the stream of Ocean.)—Personified, Ὠκεανός, husband of Tethys, father of all streams and fountains, and indeed, of all the gods, Od. 4.568, Od. 10.139, Il. 14.311, 201.A Homeric dictionary (Greek-English) (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ομηρικό λεξικό) > Ὠκεανός
