Dione was an early goddess who was either a Titan or an Oceanid. She was a lover of Zeus and, according to some traditions, gave birth to the love goddess Aphrodite.
Dione was, in some traditions, a consort of Zeus and the mother of Aphrodite. Doris was the wife of Nereus and the mother of the Nereids. And Metis was an early ally and wife of Zeus. Otherwise, the Oceanids were seen primarily as companions of other gods, such as Artemis or Persephone. They were rarely worshipped on their own. Etymology
Dione then: “Thy wrongs with patience bear, And share those griefs inferior powers must share: Unnumber’d woes mankind from us sustain, And men with woes afflict the gods again.
And there were with her all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rhea and Ichnaea and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite and the other deathless goddesses save white-armed Hera, who sat in the halls of cloud-gathering Zeus.
In one version, known from Homer’s epics, she was the daughter of Zeus, the supreme god of the Greeks, and the goddess Dione. But the best-known account of Aphrodite’s birth comes from Hesiod’s Theogony. According to this epic poem, Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam that bubbled up after Uranus ’ severed genitals were thrown into the sea.
