Scottish forest that is the location of Arthur‘s seventh battle in the Historia Brittonum by Nennius where Arthur fought the Picts and the Angles. Also known as Cat Coit Celidon, this is the modern day Caledonian Wood which at one time covered most of Selkirkshire and Dumfries and ran over the highlands around the upper Clyde and Tweed rivers.

The Naiads were nymphs of bodies of fresh water and were one of the three main classes of water nymphs – the others being the Nereids (nymphs of the Mediterranean Sea) and the Oceanids (nymphs of the oceans). The Naiads presided over rivers, streams, brooks, springs, fountains, lakes, ponds, wells, and marshes. They were divided into various subclasses: Crinaeae (fountains), Pegaeae (springs), Eleionomae (marshes), Potameides (rivers), and Limnades or Limnatides (lakes). Roman sources even assigned custody of the rivers of Hades to Naiads classified as Nymphae Infernae Paludis or the Avernales.

This Aztec Goddess, whose name means “jade skirt” or “lady precious gren”, was matron of lakes and streams. A personification of youthful beauty and ardour, Chalchiuhtlicue was represented as a river from which grew a prickly pear tree laden with fruit, symbolising the human heart. She ruled over all the waters of the earth; oceans, rivers, rain, etc., but was also associated with marriage. Her husband is Tlaloc, the god of rain.

Il, a Canaanite creator god, most probably modeled on or syncretized with El.
He exerted supreme authority, both morally and creatively, and governed the assembly of the gods. Baal was ultimately answerable to him. According to legend he resides in royal surroundings lying at the confluence of two rivers. A stele found at Ras Samra has a seated god with bullhorns, which may depict either Il or Baal.
