Ceto came to our home after losing her human family in the second wave of COVID-19. She was our pandemic dog. And what a dog! A tall, long-limbed black Labrador, slightly deaf, with red-brown eyes, drooping jowls, and a silvery muzzle.
Ceto, it turned out, was the Greek name for a primordial sea goddess in charge of all the dangers of the ocean. In mythology, Ceto was the mother of Echidna, the Gorgons, the Nemean lion, and the Sphinx; Wikipedia said the name could also mean ‘sea monster’.
