The Nereids (Greek: Νηρηΐδες) were sea nymphs in Greek mythology, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. They were often depicted as beautiful, benevolent beings who accompanied Poseidon, the god of the sea, and were known for their kindness and love towards sailors, often rescuing them from the perils of the sea. The Nereids were numerous, with some sources suggesting there were fifty of them, each with her own distinct name and characteristics. In Roman mythology, they were known as the Nereides (Latin), and in modern Hebrew, they are referred to as ניראידס. The Nereids were often associated with various aspects of the sea and its phenomena, such as waves, currents, and storms. They were also closely linked to the sea's bounty, symbolizing fertility and abundance. Their depictions in art and literature often highlight their role as protectors and guides of sailors, embodying the sea's nurturing and dangerous aspects.

Achilleis (trilogy)
The Achilleis is a lost trilogy by the Athenian dramatist Aeschylus. The three plays that make up the Achilleis exist today only in fragments, but aspects of their overall content can be reconstructed with reasonable certainty. Like the Oresteia which forms "a narratively connected unit with a continuous plot," the trilogy had a unified focus, presumably treating the story of Achilles at Troy in a version comparable to the plot of the latter two-thirds of the Iliad. In the Myrmidons, Achilles' refusal to fight after his quarrel with Agamemnon led to the death of Patroclus. The title of the play traditionally placed second in the trilogy is the Nereids. The chorus was thus a group of Nereids, and the subject of the play involved Achilles and his Nereid mother Thetis, probably her mourning his imminent death and the acquisition of his new arms. In the Phrygians or Ransom of Hector, Priam and a chorus of Phrygians sought to retrieve Hector's body from the still wroth Achilles.
