Pherusa or Pherousa is the name of two different figures in Greek mythology.
Nereid[edit]
Pherusa was a Nereid, one of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris. Her name, a participle, means "she who carries." She, along with her sister Dynamene, were associated with the power of great ocean swells. She is mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony.
Horae[edit]
Pherusa is counted by some authors as one of the Horae, goddess of substance and farm estates.
