Also she brought forth a holy company of daughters
who with the lord Apollo and the Rivers
have youths in their keeping -- to this charge
Zeus appointed them -- Peitho, and Admete,
and Ianthe, and Electra, and Doris,
and Prymno, and Urania divine in form,
Hippo, Clymene, Rhodea, and Callirrhoe,
Zeuxo and Clytie, and Idyia, and Pasithoe,
Plexaura, and Galaxaura, and lovely Dione,
Melobosis and Thoe and handsome Polydora,
Cerceis lovely of form, and soft eyed Pluto,
Perseis, Ianeira, Acaste, Xanthe, Petraea the fair,
Menestho, and Europa, Metis, and Eurynome,
and Telesto saffron-clad, Chryseis and Asia
and charming Calypso, Eudora, and Tyche,
Amphirho, and Ocyrrhoe, and Styx
who is the chiefest of them all. These are the eldest
daughters that sprang from Ocean and Tethys;
but there are many besides. For there are three
thousand neat-ankled daughters of Ocean
who are dispersed far and wide,
and in every place alike serve the earth
and the deep waters, children who are
glorious among goddesses. And as many
other rivers are there, babbling as they flow,
sons of Ocean, whom queenly Tethys bare,
but their names it is hard for a mortal man to tell,
but people know those by which they severally dwell.

Theia was subject in love to Hyperion &
bare great Helius the Sun & clear Selene
the Moon and Eos the Dawn who shines upon
all that are on earth & upon the deathless
Gods who live in the wide heaven.
