Oceanus and Tethys produced the three thousand Oceanids and river gods, including Styx, Electra, Clymene, Doris, Metis, Tyche, Perse, Plouto, Philyra, Peneus, and Achelous.
Zeus and the Oceanid Plouto were the parents of Tantalus, who became king of Sipylus but offended the gods and was condemned to eternal punishment in the underworld.
The Oceanids were three thousand freshwater nymphs born to Oceanus and Tethys who nurtured rivers, springs, and streams across the world. Hesiod named the eldest and most honored among them in the Theogony.
