The #Naiads are #nymphs associated with #freshwater #springs, #streams, and #wells in Greek #mythology.

Or that same daintie lad, which was so deare
To great Alcides, that when as he dyde
He wailed womanlike with many a teare,
And every wood, and every valley wyde
He fild with Hylas name; the Nymphes eke "Hylas" cryde.

-- Edmund Spenser, The Faery Queene, book 3, Canto XII, Stanza 7
