Historical Synopsis
NYMPHAI (Nymphs) were female spirits of the natural world--minor goddesses of the forests, rivers, springs, meadows, mountains and seas. They were the crafters of nature's wild beauty, from the growing of trees, flowers and shrubs, to the nurture of wild animals and birds, and the formation of grottos, springs, brooks and wetlands.
Nymphs were also companions of the gods. Dionysos had his wild-eyed Mainades (Maenads) and Bakkhai (Bacchae), Artemis was accompanied by a band of huntress nymphs, Hekate by the dark Lampades of the underworld, Poseidon by the Nereides, and the goddesses of Olympos by a bevy of nymph handmaidens.
Others were the nurses of the gods including the Idaian nymphs who nursed the infant Zeus, and the Nysian nymphs who cared for Dionysos.
The nymphs were depicted as beautiful young women with attributes matching their abode.[1]
