Nereid

In Greek mythology, the Nereids ( ; , sg. ) are sea nymphs (female spirits of sea waters), the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris, sister to Nerites. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors fighting perilous storms, as the Argonauts find the Golden Fleece.
==Mythology==

Nereids are particularly associated with the Aegean Sea, where they dwelt with their father in the depths within a golden palace. The most notable of them are Thetis, wife of Peleus and mother of Achilles; Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon; and Galatea, lover of the Cyclops Polyphemus.
They symbolized everything that is beautiful and kind at sea. Melodious voices sang and danced around his father. They are represented as very beautiful girls, crowned with branches of red coral and dressed in white silk robes trimmed with gold and went barefoot, carrying the trident of Poseidon, whose entourage they were part of.
In Homer's ''Iliad'' XVIII, when Thetis cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for the slain Patroclus, her sisters appear. The Nereid Opis is mentioned in Virgil's ''Aeneid''. She is called on by the goddess Diana to avenge the death of the Amazon-like female warrior Camilla. Diana gives Opis magical weapons with which to take revenge on Camilla's killer, the Etruscan Arruns. Opis sees and laments Camilla's death and shoots Arruns in revenge as directed by Diana.〔''Virgil: His life and times'' by Peter Levi, Duckworth, 1998〕
