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> ==References== {{reflist}} ==See also== * [[List of Oceanids]] * [[Mermaid]] * [[Siren]] * [[Nereid]] [[Category:Greek mythology]] [[Category:Roman mythology]] [[Category:Nymphs]] [[Category:Oceanids| ]] [[br:Okeanidezed]] [[bg:Океаниди]] [[ca:Oceànide]] [[cs:Ókeanovny]] [[da:Okeanide]] [[de:Okeanide]] [[el:Ωκεανίδες]] [[es:Oceánides]] [[eu:Ozeanide]] [[fa:اوکئانیدها]] [[fr:Océanides]] [[it:Oceanine]] [[he:אוקיינידים]] [[lt:Okeanidės]] [[hu:Ókeaniszok]] [[nl:Oceaniden]] [[ja:オーケアニス]] [[pl:Okeanidy]] [[pt:Oceânides]] [[ro:Oceanidele]] [[ru:Океаниды]] [[simple:Okeanid]] [[sl:Okeanide]] [[sr:Океаниде]] [[fi:Okeanidit]] [[sv:Okeanider]] [[tr:Okeanidler]] [[uk:Океаніди]] [[zh:俄刻阿尼得斯]]
