Tethys is the titans goddess of water that nourish the earth. She was one of Gaia and Uranus daughter. She was the wife of Okeanos her own brother, the earth encircling, fresh water stream and the mother of Potamoi, Okeanides, and Nephelai. Potamoi is rivers, Okeanides is springs stream and fountain and Nephelai is cloud. Tethys is well known as the nurse or the grandmother. During the war of the Titans, Tethys raised rhea as her god-child she also educated Hera that is why she is called the nurse.
Tethys once ever help Hera by cursing the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor to forever cycle the sky and never drop below the horizone. Hence explaining why they are circumpolar.
