In addition, Doris was also the sister of many important sea nymphs, and these sea nymphs were collectively referred to as Oceanids in honor of their father Okeanos. Among the list of illustrious Oceanids are such famous names as Metis, Calypso, Styx, Perseis, and Tyche.
In myth, Doris was the wife of the sea god Nereus. Together, Doris and Nereus were the parents of the fifty beautiful nymphs known as the Nereids. The previously mentioned Theogony of Hesiod features a passage that catalogues the names of the Nereids, including notables such as Amphitrite, Galatea, Psamathe, and Thetis.
Apart from her roles as wife and mother, Doris did not play a large part in the stories of Greek mythology.
