Mythology
The Limnads are Naiads that lived in freshwater lakes. Their parents were the Potamoi (river gods) or the lake gods.
Types and names
The number of Limnads includes but is not limited to:
- The Astakides (αἱ Ἀστακίδες), nymphs of the Lake Astakos in Bithynia[1]
- Bolbe (Βόλβη), nymph of a Thessalian lake of the same name, also classed as an Oceanid due to her parentage (daughter of Oceanus and Tethys)
- Limnaee (Λιμναία), daughter of the Indian river god Ganges, one of the reputed mothers of Athis[2]
- Pallas (Παλλάς, genitive Παλλάδος)[3]
- Tritonis (Τριτονίς), nymph of the homonymous salt-water lake in Libya, mother of Nasamon and Caphaurus (or Cephalion) by Amphithemis,[4][5] and, according to an archaic version of the myth, also of Athena by Poseidon.[6]
gollark: Apologies if it's already been mentioned a lot, but my phone's (nonreplaceable) battery is degrading beyond the point of usefulness, so I probably need to replace it soon, and it seems that I can't really get other devices with replaceable batteries. So anyway:- can I get a PinePhone in the UK, ideally without horrible shipping cost and within... a month or so? If so, how/where?- how is the support if the hardware breaks somehow?- is it at least usable enough that I can use it for phone calls/SMS/web browsing reasonably reliably?
gollark: Activating orbital lasers.
gollark: I'm kind of expecting phone docks to replace laptops and desktops for a lot of users in the next decade.
gollark: I could probably cobble together something which works for running stuff based on a unit-file-type thing, but it would not be very good and just add to the xkcd.com/927/ situation.
gollark: It is a shame there's no systemd alternative which has the unit files and other nice stuff but no ridiculous amount of daemons and overintegration of everything.
