Drosera (Naiad)

Drosera ( Greek Δροσερά , the Betauende ) is a Tyrian nymph ( Naiad ) in the Greek mythology .

According to Nonnos , she became one of the three ancestors of the Tyrians, along with the naiads Abarbaree and Kallirrhoë , after they were admired by Dionysus and struck by Eros' arrows. According to Wolf Wilhelm von Baudissin , Kallirrhoë and Drosera were inventions of the Nonnos.
