The theme | Nympheas
The Nymphs, (Gr. νύμφη) secondary divinities embodied the creative and productive activities of the living forces of nature, they haunted the waters, the woods and the mountains.
Daughters of Zeus or born from the drops of blood of Ouranos, their name gave rise to the term “nymphomania”, because they were renowned for their many sexual adventures. In fact, the myths frequently associate them with satyrs, hence a tendency towards fantasized hypersexuality.
Lovers of the gods, but usually mere mortals living for thousands of years, the carefree nymphs sing in the places they occupy. From their union with mortals were born heroes and demigods.
