In Greek mythology, the mountainous district of Nysa (Ancient Greek: Νῦσα, romanized: Nûsa), variously associated with Ethiopia, Libya, Boeotia, Thrace, India, or Arabia by Greek mythographers, was the traditional place where the rain nymphs, the Hyades, raised the infant god Dionysus, the "God of Nysa."
