Doris

Classical

A sea-goddess. Doris was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. Doris was mostly known as mother of the fifty sea-nymphs called the Nereïds (Nereids, mermaids?), and married to the ancient sea-god, Nereus.

She has no myth of her own; she was possibly just the personification of the sea.
