In Greek mythology, Adrasteia ("inescapable"; also spelled Adrastia, Adrastea, Adrestea, Adastreia) was a nymph who was charged by Rhea to raise Zeus in secret to protect him from his father Cronus (KrĂłnos). Adrasteia and her sister Ida, the nymph of Mount Ida, who also cared for the infant Zeus, were the daughters of Melisseus.
