The Eleionomae were nymphs of marshes in Greek mythology.

Eleionomaeses are the nymphs of marshes; they live in the marsh waters and often mislead travelers with illusions they create. These illusions are usually images of the victims' loved ones. Eleionomaeses also lure young, virgin boys and seduce them with their wild beauty.
