Pleione Greek Daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys; a nymph, one of the eldest among the thousands of daughters born of this union who were themselves considered by many writers to be Titans. Pleione and her sisters were guardians of bodies of water. She was the consort of Atlas and with him the mother of the Pleiades. Pleione means "to increase in number." Some scholars think she may have been a nymph of flocks and herds. Her grandson, Hermes, one of the Olympian gods, was the god of animal husbandry.
