The Naiades are nymphs of bodies of fresh water (lakes, streams, brooks, marshes, fountains, springs, ponds, and wells) and are one of the three main classes of water nymphs; the others are the Nereides (salt water nymphs) and the Oceanides (ocean nymphs).
The Naiades are further divided into sub-groups; the Crinaea (fountains), the Pegaeae (springs), the Limnatides (lakes), the Eleionomae (marshes), and the Potameides (rivers).
Some are able to heal the sick, some have the gift of prophecy and can deliver oracles, some watched over fields, flocks, and flowers.
