According to ancient mythology, Nana was a nymph of the Sangarious river (modern Sakaria river) in Asia Minor.
She became pregnant when an almond from an almond tree fell on her lap. The almond tree had sprung where the violent and dangerous demon Agdistis was slain. Agdistis was a son of Cybele, the Mother of all things.
Nana abandoned the baby, who was adopted by his "grandmother" Cybele. The baby, Attis, grew up to become Cybele's servant and lover.
