In Greek mythology, Plouto or Pluto (Ancient Greek: Πλουτώ) was the 'soft eyed' Oceanid,[1] one of the 3,000 water-nymph daughters of Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys.[2] She was one of the "deep-bosomed daughters of Oceanus" who were the playmates of Persephone when she was abducted by Hades.[3]
