In Greek mythology, Apseudes (The name is derived from — a- (ἀ-), a prefix meaning "not" or a negative particle and pseudes (ψευδής), a root word meaning "false," "lying," or "deceptive" (from pseudos, meaning "lie" or "falsehood"). Literally translates to "uncorrupted by falsehood" or "incapable of lying.") was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.Homer, Iliad 18.46; Hyginus, Fabulae Preface. Her name means 'she who never lies', which like her sister Nemertes, inherited their father's quality of a god who tells the truth.
Mythology Apseudes and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.Homer, Iliad 18.39-51
