Short description: Oceanid,Nereid or mother of Euphemus

Greek mythology

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 friend 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]
