Cassotis

Cassotis is attested in classical literature (notably in summaries of Pausanias) as a local nymph of Mount Parnassus who gives her name to a spring at Delphi. The surviving attestation is locational and nominative: Cassotis is presented as the eponymous spirit of that water source, which was dedicated to Apollo in the cultic environment of the Oracle. No genealogy, birth myth, or extended narrative origin is provided in the cited sources; her identity is understood through the common Greek practice of personifying and naming natural features within sanctuary topography.

The available sources do not preserve any physical description of Cassotis. She is identified only as the nymph of a spring; the sources supply no details of anthropomorphic features, attire, or distinctive marks. While Greek nymphs are conventionally imagined as female nature-spirits, the provided material does not record any specific iconography or literary depiction for Cassotis herself.

The sources do not ascribe explicit powers, miraculous deeds, or specific behaviors to Cassotis beyond her role as the named spirit of a sacred spring at Delphi. Her attestation implies a sacred association with the spring and placement within the cultic landscape of Apollo's oracle, but there are no recorded abilities, interventions, or interactions with mortals in the cited material.
