Amphithoe (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Amphithoë (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιθόη means 'she who moves swiftly around' or 'the shouter') was the Nereid of sea currents and thus a daughter of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. She was probably the same as Amphitrite.

Mythology

Amphithoe and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.
