| The names of the species of the [[nymph]]s varied according to their natural abode. The '''Aulonaid''' (from the classical Greek αύλών; valley, ravine) was a nymph who could be found in the mountain pastures and vales, often in the company of [[Pan]], the god of nature. [[Eurydice]], for whom [[Orpheus]] traveled into dark [[Hades]], was an Auloniad, and it is in the valley of the Thessalian river Pineios where she met her death at the hands of [[Aristaeus]], son of the god [[Apollo]] and the nymph Cyrene, whose desire to ravage her led her to tread on a poisonous serpent.
