KRINAIAI, the Naiades of fountains
This fountain was built in 1862 by the Parisian sculptor Alexis André. The superposed basins are supported by Naiades.
THE NAIADES were fresh-water Nymphs who inhabited the rivers, streams, lakes, marshes, fountains and springs of the earth. They were immortal, minor divinities who were invited to attend the assemblies of the gods on Mount Olympos.
