Unsolved:Dryope

From HandWiki

In Greek mythology, Dryope (/ˈdraɪ.əpiː/; Ancient Greek: Δρυόπη derived from δρῦς drys, "oak"; dryope "woodpecker"[1]) is the name attributed to several distinct figures:

  • Dryope, daughter of Dryops and mother of Amphissus by Apollo.
  • Dryope, mother of Tarquitus by Faunus, the god of the woods. Tarquitus was slain by Aeneas.[2]
  • Dryope, a nymph responsible for kidnapping Hylas, which she did in accord with Hera's will.[3] Her name may have to do with the fact that Hylas was the son of Theiodamas, the king of the Dryopes.
  • Dryope, a Theban woman of Phoenician origin, mother of Chromis. She joined the Maenads disregarding her pregnancy, and went into labor when she was dragging a sacrificial bull by the horns.[4]
  • Dryope, a Lemnian.[5]
  • Dryope, mother of the Oenotropae by Anius.[6]
