In Greek and Roman mythology, the Oceanids were the three thousand daughters of the    Titans Oceanus and Tethys.

One of these many daughters was also said to have been the wife of the god Poseidon,  typically named as Amphitrite. Each of these nymphs was the patroness of a particular    spring,   river, ocean, lake, pond, pasture, flower or cloud.
    
Oceanus and Tethys also had     3000 sons, the river-gods (Potamoi).

Whereas most sources  limit the term Oceanids or  Oceaniades to the daughters, others   include both the sons and  daughters under this term.
