Nereids are sea nymphs (female spirits of sea waters), the 50 daughters of Nereus and Doris sisters to the Nerites. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and are usually very friendly and helpful to sailors. They live in the Aegean Sea with their father Nereus in the depths within a golden palace.
They symbolize everything that is beautiful and kind about the sea. Their melodious voices sing as they dance around their father. They are very beautiful girls, crowned with branches of red coral and dressed in white silk robes trimmed with gold, but who went barefoot. They were part of Poseidon's entourage and carried his trident.
