Limnoreia (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Limnoreia, Limnoria or Lymnoria[1] (Ancient Greek: Λιμνώρεια means 'salt-marsh') was the Nereid of the salt marshes[2] and one of the 50 marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[3] She and her other sisters appear to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles at the slaying of his friend Patroclus.[4]
