The Group Deities were sisters who were in charge of a general function. Each had a special attribute. The Graces and Muses were daughters of Zeus who lived in Olympus and on earth. The nymphs were beautiful ladies that resembled the mermaids and fairies of modern superstition. They were gifted with the power of making themselves visible or invisible at pleasure. There were several classes of nymphs that lived in mountains and grottoes, or rivers and trees. According to Hesiod, the Fates were daughters of Night.
