Young Brunette Girl Outside In The Nature Like A Nymph
|
A nymph in Greek mythology is a minor nature goddess typically associated with a particular location or landform. Other nymphs, always in the shape young nubile maidens, were part the retinue a god, such as Dionysus, Hermes, or Pan, or a goddess, generally Artemis. Nymphs were the frequent target satyrs. They live in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, also in trees and in valleys and cool grottoes. They are frequently associated with the superior divinities: the huntress Artemis; the prophetic Apollo; the reveller and god wine, Dionysus; and rustic gods such as Pan and Hermes.
The symbolic marriage a nymph and a patriarch, ten the eponym a people, is repeated endlessly in Greek origin myths; their union lent authority to the archaic king and his line.
