Doris (Oceanid)

She was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus[2] and Tethys.

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

[citation needed] 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] Being an Oceanid meant she was a sister of the river gods.

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