NEREIS or Nerines were Nereus daughters were regarded by the ancients as marine nymphs of the Mediterranean. They are described as lovely divinities, and dwelling with their father at the bottom of the sea, andwere believed to be propitious to all sailors. The epithets given them by the poets refer partly to their beauty and partly to their place of abode.
