In Greek mythology, Doris is an Oceanid nymph, a daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She married Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea, and by him became the mother of the Nereids — the fifty (or forty-five, or forty-nine) sea-nymphs of Greek tradition, including Thetis, Amphitrite, and Galatea.

I.Family
Doris is one of the three thousand Oceanid daughters of Oceanus and Tethys. Her marriage to Nereus links the fresh-water river-line of Ocean to the salt sea-personified as the Old Man of the Sea.
By Nereus she bore the Nereids, whose number and names vary between Hesiod, Homer, Apollodorus, and Hyginus.
