In Greek mythology, Perse (Ancient Greek: Πέρση, romanized: Pérsē, lit. 'destroyer') is one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Her name was also spelled as Persa, Perseide, Persea or Perseis (Περσηίς, Persēís). Perse married Helios, the god of the sun, and bore him several children, most notably the sorceress-goddess Circe.
