Influence[edit | edit source]

In the Greek myths, numerous places were associated with the nymphs. Of special note is the Cave of the Nymphs in Ithaka, which Odysseus visited on his return home, according to Homer's Odyssey,[14] as well as the Cave of Ionides in Elis, which was revered as the dwelling place of a group of water nymphs called Ionides.[12] In Phokis, the village of Lalaia was named after the nymph of the same name,[17] near the spring which bore the name of her father Kephisos.[18]

During the Peloponnesian War, a woman living alone among pigs, wild boars, and lions on Atoll Point of Paros Island claimed to be one of the Oceanids, introducing herself to the Spartan misthios Kassandra as "Circe of the Oceanids".[16]

In Constantinople, the Great Nymphaeum was built in honor of the nymphs.[19]

Furthermore, Ercole Massimo's family was said to have originated from the union of Herakles and an unnamed nymph.[20]

Figures of other cultures, like the Brittonic Sabrina,[21] were reimagined as nymphs due to the exportation of Greco-Roman culture.
