{{Greek myth (aquatic nymphs)}}
In [[Greek Mythology|Greek]] and [[Roman mythology]], the '''Oceanids''' were the three thousand daughters of the Titans [[Oceanus]] and [[Tethys (mythology)|Tethys]]. One of these many daughters was also said to have been the wife of the god [[Poseidon]], typically named as [[Amphitrite]]. Each of these [[nymph]]s was the [[tutelary deity|patroness]] of a particular spring, river, ocean, lake, pond, pasture, flower or cloud. Oceanus and Tethys also had 3000 sons, the river-gods (''Potamoi''). Whereas most sources limit the term Oceanids or Oceaniades to the daughters, others include both the sons and daughters under this term.<ref>Hyginus, Fabulae, Preface [http://www.theoi.com/Text/HyginusFabulae1.html]</ref>
