In Greek Mythology, naiads (Ancient Greek: ναϊάδες) were a type of water nymph that is said to inhabit a river, spring, waterfall or other bodies of fresh water.
They are distinct from river gods, who embodied rivers, and the very ancient spirits that inhabited the still waters of marshes, ponds and lagoon-lakes. Naiads are typically the daughters of river gods.
Notable Naiads include Io and El Naddaha.
