In Greek mythology, Amatheia ( Ancient Greek: Ἀμάθεια means 'rears, nurses' or 'she is sparkling water' [1]) was the "fair-tressed" Nereid [2] and was described to have "azure locks luxuriant" or as some translations put it "long, heavy hair". [1] As one of these 50 sea- nymphs, she was the daughter of the ' Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. [1] Variations of her names were Æmathia, [3] Amathea [4] and Amathia [5] which means "queen of voice". [1]
Amatheia and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus. [6]
