Gold plaques embossed with winged Bee-goddess, perhaps associated with Artemis female head, 7th century BC.perhaps the Thriai, found at Camiros Rhodes, dated to 7th century BCE The Thriae are closely linked to the Melissae (bee demigods/nymphs). Originally the Thriae were three nymphs (Melaina, Kelodora and Daphnis), who were oracles/soothsayers who used pebbles as a means of divination. The myths say that the nymphs were part woman and part bee, and lived somewhere around Mt Parnassos. They would tell fortunes and fed exclusively on honey, often they were described as being sprinkled with white/yellow meal, which was allegedly the pollen from the flowers..
