Editing Nymph (section)

== List ==
All the names for various classes of nymphs have plural feminine adjectives, most agreeing with the substantive numbers and groups of nymphai. There is no single adopted classification that could be seen as canonical and exhaustive.<ref name="Rose1959">{{cite book |last=Rose |first=Herbert Jennings |author-link=H. J. Rose |title=A Handbook of Greek Mythology |edition=1st |year=1959 |publisher=E. P. Dutton |location=New York |isbn=978-0-525-47041-0 |page=[https://archive.org/details/handbookofgreekm00rose/page/173 173] |url=https://archive.org/details/handbookofgreekm00rose/page/173 }}</ref> Some classes of nymphs tend to overlap, which complicates the task of precise classification. e.g. [[Dryad|''dryads'']] and [[hamadryad|''hamadryads'']] as nymphs of trees generally, ''[[meliai]]'' as nymphs of [[ash tree]]s.<ref name="Rose1959"/> According to classicist Robin Hard, these terms "were hardly proper names at all, but feminine adjectives that could be assigned to the noun {{translit|grc|nymphē}} at will", adding that "[n]o orthodox or exhaustive classification of such beings was ever attempted, and ancient authors were often careless or arbitrary in the application of such titles".<ref>Hard, p. 210.</ref>
