In Greek mythology, Apseudes (Ancient Greek: Ἀψευδὴς means 'truthful' or 'the shiner'[1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[1][2] Her name means 'she who never lies', which like her sister Nemertes, inherited their father's quality of a god who tells the truth.[3]
