Nymph name "Daphnis"	Greek	A Sicilian hero, to whom the invention of bucolic poetry is ascribed. He is called a son of Hermes by a nymph, or merely the beloved of Hermes. Ovid calls him an Idaean shepherd; but it does not follow from this that Ovid connected him with either the Phrygian or the Cretan Ida, since Ida signifies any woody mountain. Greek
"Xenea"	Greek	A Naiad who fell in love with Daphnis and made him promise never to form a connexion with any other maiden. Greek
