anonymous said:  would you be able to give a little bit more information on the nymphs? (ex what kinds there could be, potential jobs on elysium?)

yes, absolutely, i’d love to !! so in greek mythology, nymphs are typically separated into different groups that depend on their “ domain ” of nature which they preside over. and then that breaks down even further into specific subspecies of nymphs, which, if you can believe it, breaks down again into specific aspects of natures ( for instance, rivers vs waterfalls ). plus, there are also notable nymphs in greek mythology who are considered to be minor goddesses, so you could look into that as well ! but to avoid overwhelming you with information, i’ll just go into the “ umbrella ” subspecies, if that makes sense, and you can find it all under the cut !! and if you want more information on a specific type of nymph, feel free to message us again !

celestial nymphs

aurae, nymphs of cool breezes.

asteriae, nymphs of the stars. this breaks down further into specific types and consists of canon figures from greek mythology.

nephelae, nymphs of rain clouds.

hesperides, nymphs of evenings and sunsets. all daughters of the titan atlas, consisting of canon figures from greek mythology.

land nymphs 

alseides, nymphs of glens and groves.

auloniades, nymphs of pastures.

leimakides, nymphs of meadows.

napaeae, nymphs of mountains, valleys, and glens.

oreads, nymphs of mountains and grottoes.

wood & plant nymphs

anthousai, nymphs of flowers.

dryades, nymphs of the trees.

hyleoroi, nymphs who were watchers of woods.

water nymphs

halieae, nymphs of sea and seashores. this breaks down further into nereids, who consists of canon figures from greek myth and presided over the mediterranean specifically.

naiads, nymphs of fresh water. this breaks down further into specific kinds of fresh water.

oceanids, eldest of all the nymphs, they were daughters of oceanus and were said to preside over “ sources of fresh-water and were responsible for the nurture of the natural world. ”

underworld nymphs

lampades, torch-bearing nymphs in the underworld. though there are lots of nymphs that are part of the underworld who aren’t lampades and are instead, canon figures who are named specifically.

fun mentions !

maenads, nymphs who were essentially dionysus groupies ..

melissae, honeybee nymphs !!!!! so cute.

the nine muses, all canon figures, all nymphs !

nymphai, any nymph who didn’t belong to any specific group but were daughters of various gods / goddesses. for instance, calypso

okay, now jobs ..

honestly, nymphs can have any job they’d like in elysium ! but some fun ideas could be, having them be an outdoor education teacher at athens ? or anything else relating to nature, like botany or herbology ! they could also be vendors at demeter’s farmers market, writers at penned by eros, employees at sunny records, or baristas at the olive branch ! really, anything your heart desires !!

note:

i am by no means an expert on greek mythology, i just hope this gives you an idea of all the possibilities when it comes to nymphs ! with something like mythology in general, information can get so convoluted and hard to follow .. some stuff will conflict with others ( and don’t even get me started on the naming variation ) so when it comes to your muses, we’re in no way asking for absolute authenticity ! so please don’t feel pressured to do so. honestly, if you make something up of your own, we’d be totally fine that as well, just let us know ! but anyways, sorry this got so long. maybe this was more than you asked for but either way, i hope it helped !

For over 140 years, the Bell Museum has collected, preserved and interpreted the natural history of Minnesota as the state’s official natural history museum. Our spectacular new 74 million dollar facility has just opened on the St. Paul campus for exhibits, educational programming and public engagement including a state-of-the-art digital planetarium. The museum is committed to digitization of collections through the Minnesota Biodiversity Atlas (http://bit.ly/2zL9HO8) and Mapping Change, a citizen science opportunity (http://bit.ly/2mmYXMa). At present, four of our eight faculty curators are associated with the herbarium. As part of the extensive scientific collections of the Bell Museum, the University of Minnesota Herbarium (MIN) houses close to a million specimens (http://bit.ly/2zVG3Wa). The record of historic flora of the Upper Midwest (including the Dakotas, Wisconsin, and southwestern Ontario) is among the best in the United States. Other significant historical collections include circumboreal and arctic flora, historic Pacific Island flora, early Amazonian flora, and early California plants. We also have extensive collections of lichenized and non-lichenlized fungi. We continue to grow with new specimens, particularly from the Minnesota Biological Survey (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources) and a tropical rain forest research program in Papua New Guinea. This position is responsible for the management, preservation, accessibility, and outreach activities of MIN. Job duties include: 1. Specimen acquisition, research and classroom loans, exchanges, inventory and record keeping, and collection conservation (pest control, specimen repair, etc.). 2. Support specimen databases and digitization projects. 3. Support the use of the collection in specimen-based research by faculty, staff and students. 4. Arrange appointments for visitors; providing orientation to new visitors, assisting visitors, and developing and implementing visitor and usage policies. 5. Train and lead a team of students and volunteers working with databases, specimen curation and scientific outreach projects. 6. Provide taxonomic expertise through plant identification services and respond to information requests from the University, government agencies, and the public. 7. Promote the visibility of the herbarium collection through public engagement activities such as tours, presentations, and assist with relevant Bell Museum programing. Applicants interested in research and teaching will have the opportunity to discuss options during the interview and hiring process. Essential Qualifications: 1. M.Sc. Degree in botany, plant systematics, plant ecology, or related fields. 2. Knowledge of herbarium practices and procedures. 3. Experience with specimen digitization and databases. Ability to learn new programs and platforms. 4. High level of organization and attention to detail. 5. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. 6. Ability to train and lead a team of volunteers and students. Preferred Qualifications: 1. Ph.D. Degree in botany, plant systematics, plant ecology, or related fields. 2. Herbarium curatorial experience. 3. Knowledge of plant, algal, lichen, or fungal taxonomy and nomenclature. 4. Familiarity with upper midwest flora. 5. Previous experience of public outreach activities. For additional information and to apply for this position: go to http://bit.ly/2mtryzw and search with the job ID "324832".
