Thaumas Sea God Cliff from "summary" of Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology: Earinus-Nyx by William Smith

Thaumas was a sea god mentioned in various Greek myths and poems. He was considered to be the father of Iris and the harpies, two of the more prominent creatures from the mythology. It is said he was married to Electra, one of the Oceanids or sea nymphs.

Various ancient authors concur that Thaumas used to reside in this sea fortress. Moreover, the mythographer Hyginus noted in his work Fabulae that the sea god had been installed as Lord of the Cliff right after he got married to Electra.

Thaumas ruled over his own divine realm within the depths of the ocean known as the 'Cliffs of Thaumas', which were both tall and majestic. Many tales share how awesome these cliffs were, telling of ferocious sea monsters that lurked nearby and lightning storms that shattered the rock formations.

According to legends, when Poseidon submerged into the sea, his son Thaumas became the new ruler of the Aegean Sea up until the creation of Triton. Thaumas' reign earned him the nickname 'water king'.

One of the most important facts about Thaumas’ connection with this divine abode is that it allowed any other creatures brave enough to enter this area to ask for his advice regarding the sea or find answers to their allusion.

This cliff also served as a shelter for the gods who wished to flee the wrath of Zeus and subsequently, a few deities came to seek refuge there including Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Apollo, and Artemis at some point.

In addition, stories about this mountain mention that it has hosted many trysts between gods and goddesses due to its remote location, making it an ideal place for meetings without being seen by others.
