| | |  Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Zeus - Zeus in myth
Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father. But when Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Uranus and Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, ...

| | | | Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Richard III play - Synopsis The play begins with Richard eulogising his brother, King Edward IV of England, eldest son of the late Richard, Duke of York.
Now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious summer by this son of York
The speech reveals Richard's jealousy and ambition, as his brother Edward rules the country successfully. Richard is an ugly hunchback, describing himself as "rudely stamp'd" and "deformed, unfinish'd", who cannot "strut before a wanton ambling nymph." He responds to the anguish of his condition with an out ...

| | |  Nymph Dictionary: Vedantic Wisdom in The Yoga VasishtaThe Ramayana is the story of Rama. But more
significantly, the epic provides a peephole into Vedantic wisdom on the nature
of existence, reality and governance.
Vasishtas sagacious discourse to prince Rama was
offered at a moment of confusion and crisis in the young princes life, when he
was beginning to feel a surge of vairagya at a tender age. While extolling the
vairagya state of Rama, Vasishta initiates Rama into the deeper ontological
questions of existence and the nature of the mind.

| | | | Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Slavic fairies - Vila The Vila, or Willi or Veela, are the Slavic versions of nymphs, who have power over storms, which they delight in sending down on lonely travelers. They are known to live in meadows, ponds, oceans, trees, and clouds (cf. Leimakids, Limnades, Oceanids, Dryads, Nephele). They can appear as swans, horses, wolves, or, of course, beautiful women.
In the fictional Harry Potter series, Veela appear as astoundingly beautiful, magically captivating women who transform into hideous bird-like creatures when ang ...

| | | | Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Butterfly - Classification Although the butterflies are classified in two superfamilies, Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea, these are sister taxa, so the butterflies collectively are thought to constitute a true clade. Some modern taxonomists place them all in superfamily Papilionoidea, distinguishing the skippers from the other butterflies at the series level only. There is only one family in the Hesperioidea (or series Hesperiiformes), the skipper family Hesperiidae. The families usually recognised in the Papilionoidea (or Papilioniformes) are:

| | | | Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Gog and Magog - Gog and Magog in England
Given this somewhat frightening Biblical imagery, it is somewhat odd that images of Gog and Magog depicted as giants are carried in a traditional procession in the Lord Mayor's Show by the Lord Mayor of the City of London. According to the Lord Mayor, the giants Gog and Magog are traditional guardians of the City of London. Images of Gog and Magog have been carried in the Lord Mayor's Show since the days of King Henry V. The Lord Mayor's procession takes place each year on the second Saturday in November.
Similar images of Gog and Magog, also depicted as giants or monsters, stand over the Roya ...

Animal worship - Bear.
The bear enjoys a large measure of respect from all cultures that come in contact with it, which shows itself in apologies and in festivals in its honour. The most notable ceremonies involving bears are found in East Asia. The traditional Ainu ceremony called Iomante, Kamui Omante or Kumamatsuri is considered the only surviving bear cult. A young bear is caught at the end of Winter and fed for some nine months. After receiving honours it is ritually killed and feasted u ...

| | | | Nymph Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Aegina - Antiquities The archaeological interest of Aegina is centred in the well-known temple on the ridge near the northern corner of the island. Excavations were made on its site in 1811 by Baron Haller von Hallerstein and the English architect C. R. Cockerell, who discovered a considerable number of the sculptures from the pediment, which was bought in 1812 by the crown prince Louis of Bavaria; the groups were set up in the Glyptothek at Munich after the figures had been restored by Bertel Thorvaldsen. His restoration was somewhat drastic, the ancient parts being cut away to allow of additions in marble, and the new parts treated i ...
