Plato, Timaeus 40e, where Theia seems to be counted as a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. ↩ In some accounts, however, Selene was the daughter of the Titan Pallas (Homeric Hymn 4.99–100) or of Helios (Euripides, Phoenician Women 175–76; Nonnus, Dionysiaca 44.191). ↩; Suda s.v. “Cercopes.” ↩

A child of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys, Achelous was an ancient and powerful god. He fought Heracles for the hand of the princess Deianira, but was ultimately defeated.
- Doris - MythopediaDoris’ parents were Oceanus and Tethys, early gods of the sea and two of the original twelve Titans born to Gaia and Uranus. Doris and her sisters made up the three thousand Oceanids, while her brothers were the three thousand Potamoi, or “Rivers.” The Oceanids by Gustave Doré (1860–1869). Wikimedia Commons Public Domain
- Eurynome – MythopediaAs a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, Eurynome was often called an “Oceanid” (Ὠκεανίς, Ōkeanís). One source mentions, rather obscurely, that she was also referred to as “Titanian” (Τιτηνιάς, Titēniás). But Eurynome was not usually called a Titan in other sources, despite being the daughter of two Titans.
