Nereus��and��Proteus��³˹����³��

---

Of all the small sea divinities Nereus and Proteus stood out as Peculiar sea-gods.Nereus,known as“the Old Man of the sea”,represented the pleasant aspect of ocean waters.He lived beneath the sea with his fifty lovely daughters,of whom the most famous were Amphritrite,Thetis,Galate a and Panope.It was Nereus who advised Heracles to seek Prometheus in the hero's search of the golden apples. Proteus was Poseidon's herdsman. He was well known for two qualities:the gift of prophecy and the power to take various forms.At one time he was a lion with a curly wavy hairs;at another he appeared in the shape of a wild boar;and still another he stood a stately tree covered with rich leaves.When,after all these and many other changes,he failed to get rid of his questioner, the god offered detailed answers. ��³˹³��˹ �е�С��,��³˹³��˹�쳣���ء���³˹֪��“���е�”�˺�ˮ���Ƶ�һ�档50���ɰ���Ů��һ���ں��Сǵ�;���С�˿���ٺ���ŵ�ꡣ���¸ҵ�Ѱ�ٽ�ƻʱ��,��³˹ո���˹Ѱ��˹�� ��³��˹�DzˡַǷ���:Ԥ��,�ܹ���ɲ�ͬ�Ķ����ʱһͷʨ��,���Ų��˰�ľ�ʱһͷ���͵�Ұ��ʱ��һ��֦Ҷ��ïϵĴ���Щ�仯֮��,�޷�ѯʱ,꾡�Ļش�
