Nymph Erkyna in Livadia
Posted by Eleftheria (Athens, Greece) on 27 November 2008 in Art & Design.
From Internet:
This is Nymph Erkyna. She was a friend of the goddess Persephone.
They say that here Erkyna, when playing with Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, held a goose which against her will she let loose. The bird flew into a hollow cave and hid under a stone...Persephone entered and took the bird as it lay under the stone. The water flowed, they say, from the place where Persephone took up the stone, and hence the river received the name "Erkyna". On the bank of the river there is a temple of Erkyna, in which is a maiden holding a goose in her arms. In the cave are the sources of the river and serpents are coiled around there.
