Amphithoe (mythology) explained

In Greek mythology, Amphithoë (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιθόη means 'she who moves swiftly around' or 'the shouter')^[1] was the Nereid of sea currents and thus a daughter of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.^{[2] [3]} She was probably the same as Amphitrite.^[4]

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.^[5]
