In Greek and Roman Mythology , the Oceanids were the three thousand daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys . One of these many daughters was also said to have been the wife of the god Poseidon , typically named as Amphitrite . Each of these Nymph s was the Patroness of a particular spring, river, ocean, lake, pond, pasture, flower or cloud. Oceanus and Tethys also had 3000 sons, the river-gods (''Potamoi''). Whereas most sources limit the term Oceanids or Oceaniades to the daughters, others include both the sons and daughters under this term.Hyginus, Fabulae, Preface {Link without Title} LIST OF OCEANIDSHESIOD, THEOGONY, 346; HTTP://WWW.THEOI.COM/TEXT/HESIODTHEOGONY.HTMLAPOLLODORUS, LIBRARY 1.2.2; FABULAE, PREFACE [HTTP://WWW.THEOI.COM/TEXT/HYGINUSFABULAE1.HTML : NOTE THAT THE TEXT IS CORRUPTED IN PLACES, MAKING THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE DAUGHTERS ILLEGIBLE. # Acaste # Admete # Aethra # Amaltheia # Amphiro # Amphitrite - Usually counted as a goddess of the sea # Argia # Asia or Clymene - Nymph of the Asian region, sister to Europe # Beroe # Kleodora # Bolbe # Callirrhoe # Calypso # Caphira # Cerceis # Ceto # Chryseis # Clio # Clymene # Clytie or Clytia # Daira # Dione # Doris - Oceanid of "pure water", wife of the sea god Nereus. # Eidyia or Idyia # Electra # Ephyra # Eudore # Europa # Eurynome # Galaxaure # Hippo # Ianira # Ianthe - Nymph of violet rain clouds or violet flowers # Leucippe # Lysithea # Melia # Meliboea # Menestho # Merope # Metis - Goddess of wisdom, first spouse of Zeus # Nemesis # Ocyrrhoe # Pasithoe # Peitho # Periboea # Perse or Perseis # Petraea # Philyra # Pleione - Mother of the Pleiades by Atlas # Plouto or Pluto - Mother of Tantalus # Polydora # Prymno # Rhode or Rhodia # Styx - Oceanid of the river Styx that flowed nine times around Hades the only female river spirit # Telesto # Thoe # Tyche # Urania # Zeuxo
