NEREID






















A small relief painting, made of five painted layers,
each with different imagery and a different shape. The Nereids
were the original Mermaids, the daughters of Poseidon, seen
in the current and the wave. One, Leto, lends the ship-
wrecked Odysseus her scarf lest he drown and instructs
him to return it to the sea when he arrives at shore.
I don't think mine is quite so serious.
