Nymph
minor female nature deity in Greek and Roman mythology
(Redirected from Oread)
A nymph is a kind of female nature entity/spirit in Greek mythology. They are often companions of Greek gods and goddesses. Nymphs can be divided into different kinds, such as:
- Dryads (trees)
- Naiads (fresh water)
- Oreads (mountains)
- the Okeanids, the daughters of Okeanos, and the Nereids, the daughters of Nereus (seas)
- the Pleiades (stars)
They are not immortal, like Greek gods or the titans from Greek mythology, but were said to live a long time.
