In Greek mythology, Cymodoce (Ancient Greek: Κυμοδόκη, romanized: Kymodokê, lit. 'wave-gatherer')[1] is one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[2][3] She is briefly mentioned in Statius' Silvae.[4]
Cymodoce and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.[5] She is also said to be a companion of Aphrodite.[citation needed]
In some accounts, Cymodoce, together with her sisters Thalia, Nesaea and Spio, is one of the nymphs in the train of Cyrene[6] Later on, these four together with their other sisters Thetis, Melite and Panopea, were able to help the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm.[7]
