Unsolved:Callianeira
From HandWiki
In Greek mythology, Callianeira (Ancient Greek: Καλλιάνειρα, romanized: Kallianeira, lit. 'beautiful woman' or 'lovely one'[1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[2][3]
Mythology
Callianeira and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.[4]
Notes
- ↑ The name is derived from kalli- (combining form of kallos, meaning "beauty") + aneira (related to aner, meaning "man" or "hero"), often translated poetically as "she who is fair" or associated with noble qualities.
