Doris

（Δωρίς), a daughter of Oceanus and Thetis, and the wife of her brother Nereus, by whom she became the mother of the Nereides. (Apollod. 1.2.2; Hesiod. Theog. 240, &c.; Ov. Met. 2.269.) The Latin poets sometimes use the name of this marine divinity for the sea itself. (Verg. Ecl. 10.5.) One of Doris's daughters, or the Nereides, likewise bore the name of Doris. (Hom. Il. 18.45.)

[L.S]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
