I was a high school pupil when we got a simple homework from our literary teacher. We had to write some sentences with some characteristic expressions from Homer’s Odyssey like nymph or nymphe, a minor female nature deity of ancient Greek mythology. One of my schoolmates who came from a little village wrote the following sentence: “Odysseus was swept by the waves of the sea among the roots of a nymph”. He must have meant neem tree because the nymph’s Hungarian form is “nimfa”, in which the meaning of “fa” is tree. Anyway, in that time anyone of the class had any idea on about the existing neem tree (Azadirachta indica). About 30 years later I as an entomologist wrote some articles on it. By the way, seeds of the neem tree has insecticidal and fungicide efficiency. Even, as a university zoology teacher I instructed the nymphs as juvenile forms of some insects to students. So much about nymphs in my life.
