Nereides were worshiped in several parts of Greece, but more especially in seaport towns, such as [[Cardamyle]],<ref>Pausanias, 3.2.5</ref> and on the [[Isthmus of Corinth]].<ref>Pausanias, 2.1.7</ref> The epithets given them by the poets refer partly to their beauty and partly to their place of abode.
