In [[Greek mythology]], a '''nymph''' is any member of a large class of female nature entities, either bound to a particular location or landform or joining the retinue of a god, such as [[Dionysus]], [[Hermes]], or [[Pan (mythology)|Pan]], or a goddess, generally [[Artemis]]. But see Jennifer Larson , "Handmaidens of Artemis?" ''The Classical Journal'' '''92'''.3 (February 1997), Nymphs were the frequent target of [[satyr]]s.
