Thalia (Nereid)


In Greek mythology, Thalia or Thaleia was one of the fifty known Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris. She was mentioned as one of the 32 Nereids who gather on the coast of Troy from the depths of the sea to mourn with Thetis for the future death of her son Achilles in Homer's Iliad. Her name was derived from θάλλειν thállein which means "to flourish, to be green".
