Nemea (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Nemea (Ancient Greek: Νεμέα or Νεμέαν means 'wooded district') was the eponymous nymph of Nemea, a district between Cleonae and Phlius in Argolis.

Family
Nemea was one of the naiad daughters of the river-god Asopus and possibly Metope, the river-nymph daughter of the river Ladon. She was the sister of Salamis, Aegina, Corcyra, Thebe, Antiope, Cleone, Harpina, Plataea (Oeroe ), and Tanagra.

In some account, Nemea's parentage is attributed to Zeus and Selene.
