Mythological Creatures & Figures - Nymphs: Different from goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as divine spirits who animate nature, and are usually depicted as beautiful, young, nubile maidens who love to dance and sing. Their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste wives and daughters of the Greek polis. They are believed to dwell in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, and also in trees, valleys and cool grottoes. Although they would never die of old age nor illness and could give birth to fully immortal children if mated to a god, they themselves were not necessarily immortal, and could be beholden to death in various forms. -Darkillangel
