Mermaids were all important in the origins of Greek mythology. Amongst the most well known mermaids were Tethys (the Titan goddess, and wife of Oceanos) and Leukothea, the white mermaid goddess who lent the sailor Odysseus her veil to avoid shipwreck. Originally known as Halia, her sons by Poseidon, driven mad, raped her. In response, she threw herself into the sea. Further reading on ocean Goddesses and gods
