Prymno

In Greek mythology, Prymno (Ancient Greek: Πρυμνώ Prymnô means 'undermost, root') was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.[1][2] She was associated with the ship's stern.[3] Her name means "like a cascade which falls down over a great height".[2]
