 In this video a man explains the creatures that he saw in the sea

The god and his sister Tethys Ocean had three hundred daughters, the Oceanides, which then they spread over all the seas and the deep sea. One of them,

Doris, was the mother of fifty other water nymphs, the Nereids, named in honor of his father

Nereus, race of the Old Sea, also created by Ocean and Tethys.

The Nereids live in the Mediterranean Sea, and each one represents one of the ways of the sea. For example, Thalia is the mermaid green, and Glaucea the blue. Dinamenea symbolizes the rolling waves, and Cimodaré, calm. One of the Nereids Amphitrite was Poseidon's lover and mother of Triton. The Nereids protected the ships, and did not sing to attract sailors, but to please his father. The ancients described the Nereids with the body covered with scales and forms of fish. From there, the the mermaid myth grew around the world like ripples on the calm surface of the water
