Arethusa

Arethusa means "the waterer".

In Greek mythology, Arethusa was one of the Hesperides

A nymph, daughter of Nereus (making her a Nereid), Arethusa ran from a suitor, Alpheus, the river god, making her way to Sicily. Artemis changed her into a fountain. Alpheus swam underground and mingled his waters with hers.

Arethusa is a fountain near Syracuse, Sicily.
Arethusa occasionally appeared on coins as a young girl with a net in her hair and fish around her head.
