Our Name

Silver-footed Thetis, daughter of the seas' ancient and mother of Achilles, is one of the Nereid goddesses of Greek mythology. She is most dear to mariners of the Mediterranean. When becalmed on a voyage, sailors would be on the lookout for the rippling of the waters' surface indicating an oncoming wind. This they called the footsteps of Thetis or "Thetis Breeze."
