Nymphs
in ancient Greek mythology, female deities of nature, living in the mountains, forests, seas, and springs. The nymphs, believed to be daughters of Zeus, were often represented as companions of Artemis or Dionysus. They were worshiped in numerous local cults; sacrifices were made to them in caves, at springs, and on the seashore. They were often depicted in sculpture and painting.

I have some excellent ivory-black; it will be done in a moment, and we will replace the Medici by the nymphs or the sirens, whichever you prefer. I adored indiscriminately all the tribes of nymphs and naiads, demigods and heroes, as well as the high ones of Olympus; and I am afraid that by day I dwelt in a world peopled and ruled by them, though I faithfully said my prayers at night, and fell asleep in sorrow for my sins. |
