释义

  1. References

In Greek mythology, Nomia {{IPAc-en|ˈ|n|oʊ|m|i|ə}} (Νομία) was a nymph of Arcadia, where the local people believed the Nomian Mountains to have been named after her.[1] She was apparently a companion of Callisto, the daughter of Lycaon: Pausanias mentions a painting of the two, with Callisto sitting on a bearskin and her feet lying on Nomia's knees; there is also Pero portrayed next to them.[2]

Nomia is also a name for a type of water goddess, many believe that she started off as nothing but a nymph until one day Callisto, decided to trade her love for a god status.

Nomia is also a possible name for the Sicilian nymph who loved Daphnis but was abandoned by him and, in revenge, blinded the young man and changed him into a rock.[3]
