Nymph

<h2 id="etymology">Etymology</h2>
The <a href="/facts/Greek_language/pzDd6eIz">Greek</a> word nýmphē has the primary meaning of "young woman; bride, young wife" but is not usually associated with deities in particular. Yet the etymology of the noun nýmphē remains uncertain. The <a href="/facts/Doric_Greek/QeIeRA9C">Doric</a> and <a href="/facts/Aeolic_Greek/DDyQXgk2">Aeolic</a> (<a href="/facts/Homeric_Greek/nTYXgkq3">Homeric</a>) form is nýmphā (νύμφα).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
Modern usage more often applies to young women, contrasting with parthenos (παρθένος) "a virgin (of any age)", and generically as <a href="/facts/Kore_(sculpture)/JTsjmyef">kore</a> (κόρη < κόρϝα) "maiden, girl". The term is sometimes used by women to address each other and remains the regular <a href="/facts/Modern_Greek/nFsDHrfR">Modern Greek</a> term for "<a href="/facts/Bride/kuBv8brn">bride</a>".

<h2 id="ancient-greek-mythology">Ancient Greek mythology</h2>

Nymphs were sometimes beloved by many and dwelt in specific areas related to the natural environment: e.g. mountainous regions; forests; springs. Other nymphs were part of the <a href="/facts/Retinue/A20CjD3h">retinue</a> of a god (such as <a href="/facts/Dionysus/4kBSl2Kp">Dionysus</a>, <a href="/facts/Hermes/bRt3Jrva">Hermes</a>, or <a href="/facts/Pan_(god)/sVpk5MrJ">Pan</a>) or of a goddess (generally the huntress <a href="/facts/Artemis/bocCzux6">Artemis</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
The Greek nymphs were also spirits invariably bound to places, not unlike the Latin <a href="/facts/Genius_loci/6kEBTwSh">genius loci</a>, and sometimes this produced complicated myths like the cult of <a href="/facts/Arethusa_(mythology)/hg53gtHC">Arethusa</a> to Sicily. In some of the works of the Greek-educated <a href="/facts/Latin_literature/qX5zBEDL">Latin poets</a>, the nymphs gradually absorbed into their ranks the indigenous Italian divinities of springs and streams (<a href="/facts/Juturna/HxdsqW2s">Juturna</a>, <a href="/facts/Egeria_(mythology)/4XPqqwIg">Egeria</a>, <a href="/facts/Carmentis/LMte4YeX">Carmentis</a>, <a href="/facts/Fontus/Y5GlsQ7y">Fontus</a>) while the <a href="/facts/Lympha/Pf7YwVpm">Lymphae</a> (originally Lumpae), Italian water goddesses, owing to the accidental similarity of their names, could be identified with the Greek Nymphae. The classical mythologies of the Roman poets were unlikely to have affected the rites and cults of individual nymphs venerated by country people in the springs and clefts of <a href="/facts/Latium/BNslyoU0">Latium</a>. Among the <a href="/facts/Roman_Empire/l4E1aUuV">Roman</a> literate class, their sphere of influence was restricted and they appear almost exclusively as divinities of the watery element.

<h2 id="greek-folk-religion">Greek folk religion</h2>
The ancient Greek belief in nymphs survived in many parts of the country into the early years of the twentieth century when they were usually known as "<a href="/facts/Nereids/f6T4rJdS">nereids</a>".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> Nymphs often tended to frequent areas distant from humans but could be encountered by lone travelers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveler could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> They might appear in a whirlwind. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate man. When parents believed their child to be nereid-struck, they would pray to the Saint Artemidos (<a href="/facts/Artemis/bocCzux6">Artemis</a>), an example of "practical polytheism in the worship of the saints."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a>

<h2 id="nymphs-and-fairies">Nymphs and fairies</h2>
Nymphs are often depicted in classic works across art, literature, mythology, and fiction. They are often associated with the <a href="/facts/Medieval/RqzEKB9v">medieval</a> <a href="/facts/Chivalric_romance/NjG0kEat">romances</a> or <a href="/facts/Renaissance_literature/WzVtKNB2">Renaissance literature</a> of the elusive <a href="/facts/Fairy/P5ca3mNx">fairies</a> or <a href="/facts/Elves/7GB9V6qp">elves</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a>

<h2 id="sleeping-nymph">Sleeping nymph</h2>

A motif that entered European art during the <a href="/facts/Renaissance/4D9Bc6KU">Renaissance</a> was the idea of a statue of a nymph sleeping in a <a href="/facts/Grotto/AnGabRck">grotto</a> or spring.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> This motif supposedly came from an Italian report of a Roman sculpture of a nymph at a fountain above the <a href="/facts/River_Danube/8lMeM9xg">River Danube</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> The report, and an accompanying poem supposedly on the fountain describing the sleeping nymph, are now generally concluded to be a fifteenth-century <a href="/facts/Forgery/I9De2P20">forgery</a>, but the motif proved influential among artists and landscape gardeners for several centuries after, with copies seen at <a href="/facts/Neoclassicism/uWYVqQMj">neoclassical</a> gardens such as the grotto at <a href="/facts/Stourhead/oob1EoGC">Stourhead</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>

<h2 id="list">List</h2>
All the names for various classes of nymphs have plural feminine adjectives, most agreeing with the substantive numbers and groups of nymphai. There is no single adopted classification that could be seen as canonical and exhaustive.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> Some classes of nymphs tend to overlap, which complicates the task of precise classification. e.g. <a href="/facts/Dryad/vgn5A35G">dryads</a> and <a href="/facts/Hamadryad/sneQmp1a">hamadryads</a> as nymphs of trees generally, <a href="/facts/Meliai/vX8tX0f7">meliai</a> as nymphs of <a href="/facts/Ash_tree/Ew2cklTl">ash trees</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> According to classicist Robin Hard, these terms "were hardly proper names at all, but feminine adjectives that could be assigned to the noun nymphē at will", adding that "[n]o orthodox or exhaustive classification of such beings was ever attempted, and ancient authors were often careless or arbitrary in the application of such titles".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a>
