Arethusa
A nymph known in several parts of Greece, especially in Pelopponnese and Sicily. She was one of the Nereids (The Nereids are the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris who dwell in the Mediterranean Sea). The river-god Alpheus fell madly in love with her, but she fled to Sicily. There she was changed into a fountain (the Fonte Aretusa, in Syracuse) by Artemis (The daughter of Leto and Zeus, and twin sister of Apollo). Apheus made his way beneath the sea, and united his waters with those of Arethusa.
