According to Robert Graves the fifty Nereids, sometimes called ‘the wet ones’, or water nymphs, were the daughters of Nerius, the Old Man of the Sea and Thetis. They could calm the sea and were friendly to mariners. Renowned for their beauty various fates befell them.
My Nereids derive from Greek myth but can also be seen as modern women submerged in their own power.
