undine, also spelled Ondine, mythological figure of European tradition, a water nymph who becomes human when she falls in love with a man but is doomed to die if he is unfaithful to her. Derived from the Greek figures known as Nereids, attendants of the sea god Poseidon, Ondine was first mentioned in the writings of the Swiss author Paracelsus, who put forth his theory that there are spirits called “undines” who inhabit the element of water. A version of the myth was adapted as the romance Undine by Baron Fouqué in 1811, and librettos based on the romance were written by E.T.A. Hoffmann in 1816 and Albert Lortzing in 1845. Maurice Maeterlinck’s play Pelléas et Mélisande (1892) was in part based on this myth, as was Ondine (1939), a drama by Jean Giraudoux. Compare gnome; sylph. The myth was also the basis of a ballet choreographed and performed by Margot Fonteyn.

The word is from the Latin unda, meaning “wave” or “water.”

ℹ️ Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy that originated in the 1980s and 1990s, and has since become a popular cultural movement. The term "steampunk" was coined in the late 1980s by writer K.W. Jeter to describe a style of science fiction that was set in the Victorian era or other historical periods, and featured advanced technology powered by steam engines and other mechanical devices.

ℹ️ The orca, Orcinus orca, is also known as the "killer whale" because it is a powerful predator that has been known to hunt and kill other marine mammals, including sea lions, seals, dolphins, and even other whales.

The name "killer whale" is a bit of a misnomer, as orcas are not actually whales, but rather the largest member of the dolphin family. The name "whale" likely comes from their size, as they can grow up to 32 feet in length and weigh over 6 tons.

Despite their fearsome reputation, orcas are not typically a threat to humans in the wild and have only been involved in a small number of attacks on people. The name "killer whale" has more to do with their hunting prowess and behavior than any danger they may pose to humans.
