Brizo /ˈbraɪzoʊ/ (Greek: Βριζώ; derived from Ancient Greek word βρίζω meaning "to slumber") is an ancient Greek goddess who was known as the protector of mariners, sailors, and fishermen.[1][2][3] Brizo was also known as a prophet specializing in the interpretation of dreams.[4]
She was worshipped primarily by the women of Delos, who set out food offerings in small boats. Brizo would accept anything but fish.[2] Along with the offerings, Lillian Lawler has suggested that a dance done by sailors at Delos was in honour of Brizo.[5]
