An ox-eyed Nereid daughter of Nereus and Doris, named in Hesiod and Homer among the fifty sea-sisters — a catalogue name that must not be confused with Halie or Haliartus as a place-name.1
Hesiod calls her lovely Halie among the daughters of Nereus and Doris, set beside Cymothoe, Speo and Thoe in the Theogony roll. Apollodorus likewise lists Halie among the Nereids born to the Old Man of the Sea.2
Homer names ox-eyed Halie in the throng that fills the bright cave when Thetis mourns for Achilles — among Cymothoe, Actaea, Proto and Dynamene. This sea-nymph is not the Boeotian town Haliartus nor any coastal toponym; the atlas keeps her as a genealogical list-node honestly marked.3
