In Greek mythology, Oreads (/ˈɔːriˌæd, ˈɔːriəd/; Template:Langx) or Orestiads (/ɔːˈrɛstiˌæd, -iəd/; Template:Langx) are mountain nymphs.[1] They are described as being companions of Artemis, or as being found alongside gods such as Pan or Dionysus.[2]
A 2nd-century AD epigram relates that, with the help of the daughters of Nilus, they erected a place of worship in honour of the woman Isidora, who died by drowning.[3]
