Miscellaneous Myths: Nerites

A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE 2022: The detail about Nerea seems to be incorrect! My research indicates she existed exclusively on an older version of the wikipedia page about this tale! And this, kids, is why we always go straight to the primary source!
This teenie weenie episode is brought to you courtesy of our patron Ryan The Nomad!
There's no art of Nerites, which means none of you can prove he WASN'T a mermaid.

ERRATUM: It's been brought to my attention that the detail about Nerea seems to be uncorroborated by the primary source! Evidence suggests she originates in the distant past of a mid-2010s uncited edit to Nerites's wikipedia page. And that, kids, is why we always go straight to the primary source whenever we can! 🦐 -R

true , he literally just had two scandals in his immortal life: one is the case of Persephone , which in the ends works out by surprisingly falling on love with each other (like Beauty and the Best , I guess) and the other one is cheating Persephone only once. Meanwhile , Persephone only cheated Hades only once with Adonis. Asclepious case? Hades just ask Zeus for Asclepious to stop ressurecting people , while Zeus go on and kills Asclepious. Hercules? Hades just talks with Hercules , made a fun competion and later on gives him Cerberus , asking for him to return his dog. Orpheus? he was so moved from Orpheus' tragedy , that he goes against his job description and gives one chance for the hero to ressurect his beloved. Heck , in one version , his son Zagreus is killed by Hera , yet Hades helps Zeus to use Zagreus' heart to ressurect Dionysus (which was also killed)
