It's easy to understand why the sea Goddess Thetis, wife to Peleas and mother to Achilles, couldn't stop missing the Mediterranean, eventually leaving her husband to return to her home beneath the waves. As years go by, I love the sea more and more. It was first dip in the sea for the year today! Nothing beats the first time you are in the sea after the long winter. Tiredness virtually gets out and is carried away by the water. I guess it is worth to endure winter just for the first time the weather is nice enough to get back to sea.
Thetis lived deep down in the water, with her father Nereas, a sea God, also called the old man of the sea. The Nereids (daughters of Nereas) were fifty. These included Ipponoe (meaning the nymph who knows the minds of horses), Doto (means giving, she was responsible for giving a good seafare to sailors), Eulimene (the nymph of good harborage), Kalianassa (beautiful Queen), Ianassa, and others!
Thetis was a marine Goddess known for her good heart and hospitality. For the Greeks, Xenia, hospitality, was a religious value. Thetis had given hospitality to the God Dionysus, and Hephaestus, and she was therefore highly valued. Despite the pain caused by the death of her beloved son Achilles, Thetis found the courage to go on.
Enjoy the sea today or, if you live inland, have a look at sea images on the World Wide Web. It's nearly as good! Xxx
