==Mythology==
According to [[Hesiod]], Thaumas's wife was [[Electra (Oceanid)|Electra]] (one of the [[Oceanids]], the many daughters of the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]]  [[Oceanus]] and [[Tethys (mythology)|Tethys]]), by whom he fathered [[Iris (mythology)|Iris]] (the messenger of the gods), [[Arke]] (formerly the messenger of the Titans), and the [[Harpies]].<ref>[[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hes.+Th.+240 265&ndash;269], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hes.+Th.+767 780&ndash;381]; also [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.6 1.2.6]; [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[Fabulae]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=vczTNMWLGdoC&pg=PA96 Preface]. [[Callimachus]], ''Hymn IV: To Delos'' [https://archive.org/stream/callimachuslycop00calluoft#page/90/mode/2up/search/Thaumas 67], and [[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi006.perseus-eng1:4.416-4.480 4.479&ndash;480], also have Iris as the daughter of Thaumas.</ref>

The names of Thaumas's Harpy daughters vary. Hesiod and [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]] name them: [[Aello]] and [[Ocypete]]. [[Virgil]], names [[Celaeno]] as one of the Harpies.<ref>[[Virgil]], ''[[Aeneid]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0690.phi003.perseus-eng2:3.192-3.257 3 211&ndash;212]; [[Maurus Servius Honoratus|Servius]], On [[Virgil]], ''[[Aeneid]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Serv.+A.+3.212 3.212].</ref> However, while [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[Fabulae]]'' Preface has the Harpies, Celaeno, Ocypete, and Podarce, as daughters of Thaumas and Electra, at ''Fabulae'' 14.18, the Harpies are said to be named Aellopous, Celaeno, and Ocypete, and are the daughters of Thaumas and Ozomene.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[Fabulae]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=vczTNMWLGdoC&pg=PA102 14.18].</ref>

[[Plato]] associates Thaumas's name with ''θαῦμα'' ("wonder").<ref>[[Plato]], ''[[Theaetetus (dialogue)|Theaetetus]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0059.tlg006.perseus-eng1:155d 155d].</ref>
