In Greek mythology, dryads are the nymphs of oak trees and other trees. The term "dryad" comes from the Greek word "drys," which means "oak." However, it has become common to use the term for all types of tree nymphs. In general, dryads were shy creatures who avoided humans. However, they were not afraid of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. In fact, Artemis was often friends with the nymphs and protected them from harm. Daphnaie Main article: Daphnaie These are the nymphs of laurel trees. They are also known as daphnaiads. Epimelides Main article: Epimeliad The Maliades, Meliades or Epimelides were tree nymphs who protected sheep and cared for apple and fruit trees. The Greek word "melas" means both apple and sheep. In Greek mythology, the Hesperides are often referred to as these types of dryads. Hamadryad Main article: Hamadryad Like all nymphs, dryads were very long-lived and tied to their homes in the forest. However, some dryads stood out from the rest because they were an integral part of their trees. These are called hamadryads. If a tree died, the hamadryad associated with it would also die. For this reason, the gods punished humans who harmed trees without first asking permission from the tree nymphs. Meliai Main article: Meliae The dryads of ash trees were known as the Meliae. These sisters cared for the infant Zeus in a cave on the island of Crete. The Greek goddess Gaea gave birth to the Meliae after being made fertile by the blood of Uranus, who had been castrated. Some of the individual dryads or hamadryads include: Atlanteia and Phoebe, two of Danaus' many wives Chrysopeleia Dryope Erato Eurydice Pitys Tithorea
