Halloween Series: Supernatural Creatures Nymphs (Νυμφη meaning ‘Girl of Marriageable Age’) were female spirits of the natural world and minor goddesses of the forests, rivers, springs, meadows, mountains and seas in Greek mythology. 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 (god of festivities) had his wild-eyed Maenads and Bacchae. Artemis (goddess of the hunt) was accompanied by a band of huntress nymphs, Hecate (goddess of magic) by the dark Lampades of the underworld, Poseidon (god of the sea) by the Nereides, and the goddesses of Olympus by a bevy of nymph handmaidens.(Zuhair Murad Spring 2016 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
