Arethusa coin pendant silver grey

Arethusa was one of the nymphs following Artemis, goddess of hunting and girls.
One day, after a hunting trip with the goddess, he felt the desire to cool off in the Alpheus river, which flowed in Olympia (in the Peloponnese), between Elis and Arcadia. Here she was seen by the river god Alpheus who fell in love with her, took on human form and chased her in an attempt to possess her. Arethusa asked for help from Artemis who, to save her, transformed her into a spring by making her sink underground and guided her through underground routes, making her re-emerge on the island of Ortigia, in Syracuse. Alpheus managed to find her and transformed himself into a river again and crossed the sea to Ortigia to be able to mix his waters with hers. This is why, according to this legend, the waters of Arethusa of Sicily would actually be those of the Alpheus river. On the obverse of the tetradrachm the nymph Arethusa is depicted, on the reverse the traditional design of the quadriga found on many Syracusan coins of the same era.
