Information About

Oceanids




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}
