Doris (mythology)
Doris (; Ancient Greek: Δωρίς/Δωρίδος means 'bounty'), in Greek mythology, was a sea goddess. She was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus Aelian, ''De Natura Animalium'' 14.28 and Tethys. Etymology Her name is connected with two words: ''Dôron'' meaning "gift" or "abundance," and ''Zôros'', meaning the "pure" and "unmixed." Zôros was often used to describe fresh water or, in terms of the teachings of the day, the pure soul of a woman, and from this derived words such as zôrua "the transference of running water" and zôrux "water conduit."

Being an Oceanid meant she was a sister of the river gods. Family By her husband Nereus, Doris was mother to Nerites and the fifty Nereids, including Thetis, Amphitrite and Galatea.
