^Once again, Greeks labeled things oddly. A nymph was essentially any minor goddess who was not individually worshiped, but worshiped like nature as a whole. So yes, when Amphitrite married Poseidon, she gained worship as the one who could calm his(and his children's) raging waves and therefore became a goddess. This is sorta the opposite of fading, one where a diety gains more worship, one where a diety/domain has been forgotten. This why nymphs are both mortal and immortal-they have immortal blood and powers, but lack the agknowlegment and individualized belief from mortals to sustain themselves when mortally wounded. Similar to how Hunters can fie only in battle from fatal wounds.
