Naiad

(acrylic on card)

The Naiads are nymphs who live in  fresh water.  They preside over rivers, streams, brooks, springs, fountains, lakes, ponds, wells, and marshes. Crinaeae from fountains, Pegaeae from springs, Eleionomae from marshes, Potameides from rivers, and Limnades or Limnatides from lakes.   

The Naiad is intimately connected to her body of water, her very existence dependeds upon it. If a stream dries up, its Naiad will die. The waters which are looked after by a Naiad are endowed with inspirational, medicinal, or prophetic powers.

Naiads are thought to be daughters of Zeus, or  daughters of various other river gods, or perhaps part of the vast family of the Titan Oceanus. 

Like all the nymphs, the Naiads are in many ways, female sex symbols from the ancient world, they play the role of both  the seduced and the seducer.
