## Mythology

Nesaea was one of the Nereids who gathered round Thetis in her sympathetic grief for Achilles' loss of Patroclus.[1]

In some accounts, Nesaea, together with her sisters Thalia, Cymodoce and Spio, was one of the nymphs in the train of Cyrene[2] Later on, these four together with their other sisters Thetis, Melite and Panopea, were able to help the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm.[3]

## Legacy

This name is used to describe a genus of plants in the family Lythraceae.
