Nymphs are renowned figures from Greek mythology, representing youthful females who personify nature. Although they don't age or die of old age, they're not entirely immortal as they can be harmed or killed. Each has her distinct domain - Naiads inhabit freshwater bodies, Dryads dwell in forests, and Nereids reside in the sea. They often feature in myths and legends, with stories of their interactions with gods and humans.

Tales and myths of nymphs are widespread in classical Greek mythology. These are young, beautiful minor goddesses that embody nature's many aspects - woodland, water bodies, mountains, trees, and more. They're long-lived, often immortal, sparking numerous tales with gods or mortals due to their captivating beauty and enchantment.

Nymphs are fascinating mythological entities common in Greek and Roman mythology, particularly known for their ethereal beauty. Essentially, they are minor nature goddesses associated with specific locales like mountains, rivers, forests, or seas. Depicted as young, beautiful maidens, they are supposedly immortal, yet they do not age.

The term 'nymph' derives from the Greek 'νύμφη,' meaning 'young woman' or 'bride.' They frequently serve as characters in various ancient Greek works, such as in Homer's 'Odyssey,' where sea-nymph Calypso attracts the hero Odysseus to her enchanted isle.

They reside in rivers or mountains, trees and so on -- you name it, they have their domain there. In appearance, they are all thought to be extremely beautiful, and do not violate the balance of nature. As such they often take on highly important roles in various legends and epics: they may be serving demigods, or falling in love with those mythical heroes themselves. There are many different kinds of nymphs: The Naiads live in fresh-water, Dryads range over trees, whilst Oreads come from the mountains. They make life interesting and beautiful so long as they do not arbitrarily contravene nature's laws.

According to Greek myth, Nymphs do not possess the eternal life of gods, but their lives are far longer than humans'. They can grow old and die a natural death. In general, Nymphs are associated with some aspect of the natural world. They live as long only as the tree, river or mountain with which they happen to dwell.
