Eurynome (Oceanide)

In Greek mythology, Eurynome (Greek: Ευρυνομη, "broad pastures") was one of the Oceanides who presided over water meadows and pastures. She was one of the elder Oceanides and, thus, was considered a Titanide. As an Oceanide, she was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By Zeus, she mothered the Charites. Eurynome was often depicted as a fish-tailed goddess.
After Hephaestus was born, he was so hideous that Hera cast him down Mount Olympus and he fell into the sea. He was rescued and raised by Eurynome and Thetis.
