Cerceis
In Greek mythology, Cerceis (Ancient Greek: Κερκηίς, romanized: Kerkēís) is one of the Oceanids, nymph daughters of the Titans of the Sea, Oceanus and Tethys.[1] Her name means "of the weaving shuttle" from kerkis or "gorgeous in form".[2] Thus, Cerceis was described as being lovely with a beautiful form.[3]
