Lycorias

Lycorias

In Greek mythology, Lycorias was a Nereid, one of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris.

She is mentioned by Virgil as being "yellow haired" in the Georgics 4.

"But from her chamber in the river depth the mother heard his cry. Around her the Nymphs carded Milesian fleeces stained with rich sea-dyes, Drymo and Xantho, Ligea and Phyllodoce, their bright tresses falling loose over their snowy necks; and Cydippe and golden-haired Lycorias, the one a maiden, the other even then knowing the first throes of travail; and Clio and Beroë her sister, both daughters of Ocean, both"
