In Greek mythology, Proto or Protho[1] (/ˈprəʊtəʊ/; Ancient Greek: Πρωτὼ Prôtô means 'the first'[2] or 'the receiver'[3]) was the Nereid of the first or maiden voyage[3] and one of the 50 marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[4] She and her other sisters appear to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles at the slaying of his friend Patroclus.[5]
