In Greek mythology, Doto (Ancient Greek: Δωτὼ means 'giver') was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the "Old Man of the Sea" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.
Mythology
Doto, together with Panope and Galatea, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus. Later on, Doto and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.
