In Apollodorus, Ocean and Tethys produced the Oceanids, including Asia, Styx, Electra, Doris, Eurynome, Amphitrite, and Metis. Doris then became the consort of Nereus, and together they produced the Nereids: Cymothoe, Spio, Glauconome, Nausithoe, Halie, Erato, Sao, Amphitrite, Eunice, Thetis, Eulimene, Agave, Eudore, Doto, Pherusa, Galatea, Actaea, Pontomedusa, Hippothoe, Lysianassa, Cymo, Eione, Halimede, Plexaure, Eucrante, Proto, Calypso, Panope, Cranto, Neomeris, Hipponoe, Ianira, Polynome, Autonoe, Melite, Dione, Nesaea, Dero, Evagore, Psamathe, Eumolpe, Ione, Dynamene, Ceto, and Limnoria.

Hesiod also describes Doris as the daughter of Ocean, calling her “rich-haired Doris,” and names her with Nereus as the parents of the Nereids, including Ploto, Eucrante, Sao, and Amphitrite.
