Best Answer

a.) Nereid: In Greek mythology, the nereids were sea-nymphs, daughters of the nymph Doris and of Nereus. They number in fifty (although it is sometimes said that they number in 100). Sometimes seen frolicking on the surface of the water, the nereids (whose name means 'wet ones') lived in the underwater palace of their father. These virgins had golden hair and each had a golden throne in their father's palace. They wove and spun and often rode on dolphins. b.) Nereid is also the name of one of Neptune's moons and so is Triton!
