Her sisters included Galatea, who was loved by the Cyclops Polyphemus, and Amphitrite, who was the wife of Poseidon.
Her sisters included Galatea, who was loved by the Cyclops Polyphemus, and Amphitrite, who was the wife of Poseidon. Her father was a shape-shifter and seer named Nereus, and she herself took the shape of a lioness and a serpent before finally agreeing to marry the mortal who tried to capture her. This deity cared for Hephaestus on Lemnos after he was cast out from Olympus, a debt that the god would repay twice to her son. A prophecy predicting that her son would be stronger than his father prevented Zeus from sleeping with her, but he was still indebted to her for her aid in preventing an uprising by the other gods by summoning the monster Briareus. For ten points, name this silver-footed Nereid, the wife of Peleus and mother of Achilles.
