THETIS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 844 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THETIS , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , daughter of Nereus, wife of Peleus and
mother
  of Achilles. The
chief
  of the fifty Nereids, she dwelt in the depths of the sea with her father and sisters. When Dionysus leaped into the sea to escape from the pursuit of Lycurgus, king of the Thracian Edones, and
Hephaestus
  was flung out of
heaven
  by Zeus, both were kindly received by Thetis. Again, when
Hera
 ,
Athena
  and
Poseidon
  threatened to bind Zeus in chains, she sent the
giant
  Aegaeon, who delivered him out of their hands. She was married against her will to Peleus (q.v.; see also ACHILLES). Thetis is used by Latin poets simply for the sea.
