Amatheia (mythology)
Nereid of Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Amatheia (Ancient Greek: Ἀμάθεια means 'rears, nurses' or 'she is sparkling water')[1] was the "fair-tressed" Nereid[2] and was described to have "azure locks luxuriant" or as some translations put it "long, heavy hair".[1] As one of these 50 sea-nymphs, she was the daughter of the "Old Man of the Sea" Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[1] Variations of her names were Æmathia,[3] Amathea[4] and Amathia[5] which means "queen of voice".[1]
