In Greek mythology, Doto ( Ancient Greek: Δωτὼ means 'giver' [1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, sea- nymph daughters of the " Old Man of the Sea" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. [2] [3]

Mythology

Doto, together with Panope and Galatea, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus. [4] Later on, Doto and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus. [5]
