In Greek mythology, Neda (Ancient Greek: Νέδα, romanized: Néda) was a Messenian[1] or Arcadian nymph[2] and one of the nurses of the child Zeus.
[3] In the Messenian account, Neda, together with another nymph Ithome, brought up and bathed the infant Zeus after he was stolen by the Curetes owing to the danger that threatened from his father.
These nymphs gave their name to the river Neda and mountain Ithome.
[1] Meanwhile, the Arcadian version claimed that Neda, Anthracia, Hagno, Anchirhoe and Myrtoessa were the nurturers of the future king of the gods.
