This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Crinaeae (Greek)
In Greek mythology, the Crinaeae were a type of nymph associated with fountains. The number of Crinaeae includes but is not limited to:
Aganippe, Appias (Roman mythology), Myrtoessa (one of the nurses of infant Zeus, lived in a well in Arcadia), and The Sithnides (a group of nymphs associated with a fountain in Megara).
Crinaeae, who inhabited town fountains, were the mostly commonly worshipped and along with the other nymphs, were said to emit healing powers through the water. These nymphs were captured in works of art as beautiful, young women, either standing, sitting or reclining holding a water jug and these statues are still popular amongst sightseers today. In some areas of Greece, people still visit the mountain springs for their dose of ‘nymph healing’.
