Dexamene
In Greek mythology, Dexamene (Ancient Greek: Δεξαμένη, lit. 'she who is hospitable', 'welcoming' or 'the receiver'[1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[2]
Mythology
[edit]Dexamene and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.[3]
