In Greek mythology, Ida (Ide) was a Cretan nymph who nursed the infant Zeus. Apollodorus makes her and Adrasteia daughters of Melisseus who fed Zeus on Amalthea's milk while the Curetes masked his cries; Hyginus alternatively makes them Oceanids. Distinct from Mount Ida itself and from Trojan/Phrygian Ida associations.

I.Nurse of Zeus
When Rhea hid Zeus from Cronus, she entrusted the child to nymphs. Apollodorus names Adrasteia and Ida, daughters of Melisseus, as nurses who reared him on the milk of the goat Amalthea while the Curetes clashed their arms. Hyginus reports a variant in which Ida and Adrasteia (with Amalthea) are daughters of Oceanus — "others say daughters of Melisseus."
Diodorus says Zeus later rewarded Ida and Adrasteia by turning them into the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Pausanias saw Ida among eight nymphs flanking Rhea and Oenoe with the infant Zeus on the altar of Athena Alea at Tegea.
II.Homonyms
The atlas id ida-cretan is the nurse-nymph, not the mountain of Crete or the Troad's Mount Ida. Trojan landscape and other Idas (heroes, places) must not be merged with this node.
