Nysiads

In Greek mythology, the Nysiads or Nysiades (Ancient Greek: Νυσιάδες) were Oceanid nymphs of mythical Mount Nysa.

Zeus entrusted the infant god Dionysus[1] to their care, and the Nysiads raised him with the assistance of the old satyr-god Silenus.

When Dionysus was grown, the Nysiads joined his company as the first of the Maenads.

In later tellings of Dionysus's infancy, the Nysiades appear to be identified with the Hyades.

[6] The term might have been used for the Pleiades and the Hyades as Dionysus's tutors altogether.
