In Greek mythology, Thoosa or Thoösa ( /θoʊˈoʊsə/, Greek: Θόωσα, Thoōsa) was a sea nymph associated with swiftness, and the mother of the Cyclops Polyphemus by the god Poseidon (Odyssey, book I, lines 70–72). She was the daughter of Phorcys and most likely his wife Ceto, making her one of the Phorcydes.
