Description

Hmmmm I'm a little sick today...

But I submit six new Greek mytholgy ladies! I usually talk about them in my tumblr [link] and explain their stories. You probably know some of these! (maybe one or two?)

From left to right they are:
Galatea: a nereid, or sea nymph. A cyclops killed her lover and she created a river with his blood, aww...
Echo: an oread, or mountain nymph, she helped Zeus and thus got punished by Hera (wow, that's new). She could only repeat the last words of the person talking to her... She loved Narcissus but he died cuz he was stupid LOL
Chloris: a nymph of flowers and stuff, she was abducted by Zephyr :dance:
Eurydice: an auloniad, country-dance nymph. She was killed by a snake but his husband Orpheus went to the Underworld to rescue her... too bad he was a little stupid too and lost her!
Daphne: a dryad. Apollo was sexually harassing her and thus she asked for help and got turned into a laurel tree.
Galatea (II): is not exactly a nymph but I included her as a bonus. She was an ivory statue whose creator, Pygmalion, fell in love with. He asked Venus to make her a living woman :aww:

Hope you like it! :meow:

Echo is particularly my favorite nymph.
