Apollodorus gives a list containing seven names, [7] as well as mentioning five other Oceanids elsewhere. [8] Of these twelve names, eight match Hesiod.

Homer and Hesiod establish that a belief in the Oceanid existed in the earliest literary times. The most likely circumstance, based on the testimony of Pausanias, is that both authors took their themes from a religion known to and believed in by all the Hellenes ; thus, it is probably best to assume that Eurynome the Oceanid is the same Oceanid ...
"Hesiod" is the name of a person; "Hesiodic" is a designation for a kind of poetry, including but not limited to the poems of which the authorship may reasonably be assigned to Hesiod himself.
