In Greek mythology, Nymphe (Ancient Greek: Νύμφη, romanized: Nymphê, lit. 'bath'[citation needed]) refers to either:
- Nymphe, one of the twelve lesser known Horae (Hours).[1]
- Nymphe, the nymph mother, by Zeus, of Saon (Samon), the first king of Samothrace.[2] Otherwise, the parentage of this eponymous ruler of the island was attributed to Hermes and the nymph Rhene.[3]
