 Though the original etymology and meaning are "uncertain", the name "Ogyges" may be related to the Greek Okeanos (Ὠκεανός), the Titan who personified the great world ocean.The Greek word "Ogygios" (Ὠγύγιος), meaning "Ogygian", came to mean "primeval, primal," or "from earliest ages" and also "gigantic".Ogyges is also known as king of the Ectenes, who according to Pausanias were the first inhabitants of Boeotia, where the city of Thebes would later be founded.
