At her request, Neptune gave them new forms and new names: Ino became the sea-nymph Leucothoe, and Milecerta was changed to Palemon. […] Neptune, as god of the sea, had a great regard for the Nereides. […] Cepheus entreated the oracle to instruct him what he should do to satisfy the angry Neptune. […] Andromeda then related how she was exposed to the sea monster, to appease the angry Neptune. […] Terra (the earth) had refused to protect Latona, but Neptune metamorphosed her to a quail, and she flew off from the continent, perhaps of Africa, to the newly-raised island; and then Neptune restored her to her human shape.
