N is for Nereid
Here is today’s A to Z Challenge post. It’s is a quickie since I’m also doing the Hunky Hero BlogHop today.
Name: Nereid
Type: sea nymph
Origin: Greek mythology
Description: The Nereids are the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris and sisters to Nerites. They are sea nymphs and often accompany Poseidon. Their demeanor is friendly, and they help sailors who are fighting dangerous storms. They live in and are associated with the Aegean Sea.
Interesting Facts: One of the moons of Neptune is named Nereid after them since they were attendants of Neptune (Poseidon in Greek mythology). Notable Nereids are Thetis, the mother of Achilles, and Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon.
Have you heard of the Nereids? Are there any N beings or creatures you know of?
I have not hears of Nereid, thank you for teaching me something new. I love mythology.
