Electra (Oceanid)
In Greek mythology, Electra was the Oceanid daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. According to Hesiod, she was the wife of Thaumas, and by him, the mother of Iris, the goddess of rainbows and a messenger for the gods, and the Harpies.
The names of Electra's Harpy daughters vary. Hesiod and Apollodorus name them: Aello and Ocypete. Virgil, names Celaeno as one of the Harpies. However while Hyginus, Fabulae Preface has the Harpies, Celaeno, Ocypete, and Podarce, as daughters of Thaumas and Electra, at Fabuale 14.18, the Harpies are said to be named Aellopous, Celaeno, and Ocypete, and are the daughters of Thaumas and Ozomene. Ozomene may have been a secondary name for Electra, meaning "many-branches."
The late 4th-early 5th century poet Nonnus gives Electra and Thaumas two children, Iris, and the river god Hydaspes.
