"These are the eldest daughters that sprang from Oceanus and Tethys; but there are many besides. For there are three thousand neat-ankled daughters of Oceanus who are dispersed far and wide, and in every place alike serve the earth and the deep waters, children who are glorious among goddesses." ( Hesiod, "Theogony" 360-368)
