by Hesiod

Remembering still the right; still merciful

As just in counsels. [166]Then rose Thaumas vast,

[167]Phorcys the mighty, Ceto fair of cheek,

And stern Eurybia, of an iron soul.

From Nereus and the fair-hair’d Doris, nymph

Of ocean’s perfect stream, the lovely race

Of goddess Nereids rose to light, whose haunt

Is midst the waters of the sterile main:

Eucrate, Proto, Thetis, Amphitrite,

Love-breathing Thália, Sao, and Eudora,
