[Public-List] Pacific North West Alberg Rendezvous

Thetis Island Marina - what a cool name

"Thetis (/'??t?s/; Ancient Greek: ?????, [t?étis]), is encountered in Greek 
mythology mostly as a sea nymph or known as the goddess of water, one of the 
fifty Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus.[1]
When described as a Nereid in Classical myths, Thetis was the daughter of 
Nereus and Doris,[2] and a granddaughter of Tethys with whom she sometimes 
shares characteristics. Often she seems to lead the Nereids as they attend 
to her tasks. Sometimes she also is identified with Metis.

Some sources argue that she was one of the earliest of deities worshipped in 
Archaic Greece, the oral traditions and records of which are lost. Only one 
written record, a fragment, exists attesting to her worship and an early 
Alcman hymn exists that identifies Thetis as the creator of the universe. 
Worship of Thetis as the goddess is documented to have persisted in some 
regions by historical writers such as Pausanias.

In the Trojan War cycle of myth, the wedding of Thetis and the Greek hero 
Peleus is one of the precipitating events in the war, leading also to the 
birth of their child Achilles ...."
