In Greek mythology, Spio ( Ancient Greek: Σπειώ means 'the dweller in the caves' [1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, marine- nymph daughters of the ' Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. [2] Variations of her name were Speio [3] and Speo. [4]
Speio 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. [5]
In some accounts, Spio, together with her sisters Cymodoce, Nesaea and Thalia, was one of the nymphs in the train of Cyrene [6] Later on, these four together with their other sisters Thetis, Melite and Panopea, were able to help the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm. [7]
