The Auloniads (/;;lo;ni;d/; ;;;;;;;; from the classical Greek ;;;;; "valley, ravine") were nymphs who were found in mountain pastures and vales, often in the company of Pan, the god of nature.[1][2]
Eurydice, for whom Orpheus traveled into dark Hades, was an Auloniad, and it was in the valley of the Thessalian river Pineios where she met her death, indirectly, at the hands of Aristaeus, son of the god Apollo and the nymph Cyrene. It was Aristaeus's wish to ravish Eurydice and either disgust or fear compelled her to run away from him without looking where she was going. Eurydice trod on a venomous serpent and died.[3][1][2][4] - from an encyclopedia
Auloniads
The lightness
Of green valleys
And a promise
Of spring flowers -
They dance and smile here
For hours.
They bring joy
To places secluded,
And they lighten up
The nature of human illusions.
