The term "dryad" comes from the Greek word "drus," which means oak tree. Dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, but they have come to be used for all tree nymphs in general. They were normally considered to be very shy creatures except around the goddess Artemis, who was known to be a friend to most nymphs. Daphnaie were nymphs of laurel trees. These were nymphs of apple and other fruit trees and protectors of sheep. The Greek word "melas" means both apple and sheep. Hesperides, the guardians of the golden apples, were regarded as these type of dryad. Dryads were supernaturally long-lived and tied to their homes, but some were a step beyond most nymphs. These were the hamadryads who were an integral part of their trees, such that if the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For these reasons, dryads and the Greek gods punished any mortals who harmed trees without first propitiating the tree-nymphs. The Meliae were dryads of ash trees. The ash-tree sisters tended the infant Zeus in Rhea's Cretan cave. Gaea gave birth to the Meliae after being made fertile by the blood of castrated Uranus. The Epimeliad were nymphs associated with apple trees, and the Caryatids were associated with walnut trees. Some of the individual dryads or hamadryads are: Atlanteia and Phoebe, two of the many wives or concubines of Danaus; Chrysopeleia; Dryope; Erato; Eurydice; Pitys; Tithorea.
