Doris (Greek myth)

In Greek mythology, Doris (/ˈdoʊrɪs/; Δωρίς/Δωρίδος means 'bounty') may refer to two related sea divinities:

• Doris, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus^[1] and his sister-wife Tethys.^[2] She was the mother of the Nereids^[3] and Nerites^[1] by the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus.
• Doris, one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the above Oceanid Doris and the sea god Nereus.^[4][5] Doris and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain companion Patroclus.^[6]
• Doris or Oris,^[7] one the possible mothers by Poseidon of the Argonaut Euphemus. In some accounts, the latter's mother was variously named as (1) Europe, daughter of the giant Tityos;^[8] (2) Mecionice,^[9][10] daughter of either Eurotas or Orion^[11] or (4) lastly, Macionassa.^[12]
