Nereid
| Description | Sea-nymphs
of Greek mythology. They were the 50 daughters of Nereus.
|
| Features | They would
frolic on the surface of the water, and they had golden hair and lived
in their father's (Nereus) underwater palace. They would often
ride on dolphins, and were friendly- dancing and playing for sailors,
or helping them if they were in trouble.
