Ξωτικά, pronounced "xotika," are mythical creatures from Greek folklore, often translated as "fairies" or "elves." They are typically depicted as small, enchanting beings with magical abilities, known for their connection to nature and the supernatural. Ξωτικά are believed to inhabit forests, mountains, and other natural settings, where they play tricks on humans or assist them in times of need. In Greek mythology, Ξωτικά are often associated with the Nymphs, who are spirits of nature. They are thought to be guardians of the earth, water, and plants, embodying the beauty and mystery of the natural world. Their presence in stories reflects the cultural significance of nature in Greek traditions.
