Proteus was an old sea god from Greek myth. People said he lived near the coast and watched over seals and other sea creatures. He belonged to the world of Poseidon, and sailors linked him to the changing sea. In many stories, he appears as a quiet figure resting on the shore. Yet he was famous for one special power: he knew many truths.
