Alseid

Nymphs of glens and groves

In Greek mythology, Alseids were the nymphs of glens and groves. Of the Classical writers, the first and perhaps only poet to reference alseids is Homer. Rather than alseid he used the spelling alsea. The three uses of alsea by Homer are as follows:"The nymphs who live in the lovely groves, and the springs of rivers and the grassy meadows ." "They [nymphs] come from springs (krênai), they come from groves (alsea), they come from the sacred rivers flowing seawards." "The nymphs [of Mount Ida] who haunt the pleasant woods (alsea), or of those who inhabit this lovely mountain and the springs of rivers and grassy meads (pisea)."
