Palaemon the Sea God

Palaemon God who protected sailors.
Palaemon was the god who protected sailors, fishermen, and anyone else embarking on a sea journey. He was always pictured as a small boy who was riding on the back of a dolphin. However, he wasn’t always Palaemon. Before he became a god, his name was Melicertes. Hera drove his father, Ino, to madness. Ino leaped into the ocean with Melicertes, who then became a god when he entered the sea.
