Greek; these supernatural creatures were a part of a large family of nymphs, feminine spirits of the trees. sometimes they lived within the waters, sometimes in grottoes nearby. They were tree-nymphs who had beautiful shapes, they were elemental forces but mortal, dying when the tree died.  They punished mortals for thoughtlessly breaking their branches or doing them any harm. they were said to give the gift of prophecy and oracles, and heal the sick. The Greeks and the Romans were careful not to antagonize these creatures. The woodlands were treated with respect, for one never knew if the presiding nymph would be offended.
