Amatheia

In Greek mythology, Amatheia (Ancient Greek: Ἀμάθεια means 'rears, nurses') was the "fair-tressed" Nereid.[1] As one of these 50 sea-nymphs, she was the daughter of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. Variations of her names were Æmathia,[2] Amathea[3] and Amathia.[4]
Mythology

Amatheia and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.[5]
