subachilles:Greek Mythology 5/?Nerites Nerities was a minor sea diety, and the only son of Nereus and Doris, and often described as a young boy of stunning beauty. Poseidon fell in love with the young Nerites, who eagerly returned his feelings. From their mutual love, Anteros was birthed. Poseidon made Nerities his personal charioteer, and it is said all sea creatures admired how fast Nerites drove the chariot. Helios had offered his love to Nerities, and had been scorned for Poseidon. Out of spite and jealousy, Helios transformed Nerites into a shellfish. -- source link
