Liv speaks with Dr. Ryan Denson about the mythology of the sea (again!), this time about the Nereid nymphs, daughters of the Old Man of the Sea, and Triton(s), the son(s) of Poseidon (sometimes there's one, sometimes many... such is Greek myth).

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
