In Greek mythology, Nereid is the daughter of the sea gods Neris and Doris, who help sailors in the face of fierce storms. This monument comes from Kesantos in Lysia (now near Fetshiya, Türkiye), and was built about 390-380 BC. It is believed to have been built in memory of Arbinas, a member of the Cthulhu dynasty that ruled Silesia under the Achaemenid Empire. The form of this monument is a Greek temple located on a pedestal decorated with carved reliefs.
