"In Greek mythology, Nereus was the eldest son of Pontus and Gaea and father of the fifty Nereids, personifications of the smiling quiet sea. They are usually depicted as graceful maidens, lightly clad or naked, riding on tritons and dolphins. They often accompany Poseidon and can be friendly and helpful to sailors fighting perilous storms" Source: (
