By the time the Iliad was written Thetis was a sea-nymph, daughter of Nereus and Doris, and the mother of Achilles:- the greatest of the Greek warriors who stormed Troy.
But careful examination of the earliest records of Greek theology suggest that Thetis may originally have been the same goddess as her later grandmother Tethys, and that the Thetis / Tethys goddess may have been an early Creation goddess. (Thetis' original mother-goddess role is suggested by Achilles in Iliad I when he mentions that his mother had a hand in confirming Zeus' power over a confederation of Hera, Poseidon, and Pallas Athene).
