Doris (/ˈdoʊrɪs/; Ancient Greek: Δωρίς/Δωρίδος means 'bounty'[1]), in Greek mythology, was a sea goddess. She was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus[2] and Tethys.[3]

Etymology

The name Doris is derived from the noun for a gift, δῶρον, from Proto-Indo-European *déh₃rom of the same meaning.[citation needed]

Function

When not associated with a god, Doris represented the fertility of the ocean, goddess of the rich fishing-grounds found at the mouths of rivers where fresh water mingled with the brine.[citation needed]

Family

Being an Oceanid meant she was a sister of the river gods. By her husband Nereus, Doris was the mother of Nerites[2] and mother to the fifty Nereids,[4] including Thetis, Amphitrite and Galatea.[5]

Namesake

Doris Cove in Antarctica is named after the goddess.[6]
