I am writing a poem set in ancient Rome and am seeking stories that regard the birth (or process of birthing) nymphs to allude to. I certainly well considered that nymphs are more represented as "metaphors" of "Earthly" lands and forms, but are there any Roman myths that consider the physical birth of (or birthed) nymphs?
I could not find too much on the subject and what I did discover was not quite clear in a distinct context (I did unveil "Hesperides" and her mother "Styx" but I need something distinguished in Roman mythology, rather than Greek mythology and besides, I cannot seem to find a Roman equivalent of the Goddess "Styx", rather only the Infernal river.) And thus, I thought I would give it a try on this most virtuous forum.
