- Hamadryad abstract "A hamadryad (/hæməˈdraɪ.æd/; Greek: Ἁμαδρυάδες, Hamadryádes) is a Greek mythological being that lives in trees. They are a particular type of dryad, which in turn are a particular type of nymph. Hamadryads are born bonded to a particular tree. Some believe that hamadryads are the actual tree, while normal dryads are simply the entities, or spirits, of the trees. If the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For that reason, dryads and the gods punished any mortals who harmed trees. The Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus lists eight Hamadryads, the daughters of Oxylus and Hamadryas: Karya (Walnut or Hazelnut) Balanos (Oak) Kraneia (Dogwood) Morea (Mulberry) Aigeiros (Black Poplar) Ptelea (Elm) Ampelos (Vines, especially Vitis) Syke (Fig)Their mother, Hamadryas, is immortalized in the name of two genera: that of the Cracker butterfly, and that of the northernmost monkey in Asia Minor, the Hamadryas baboon. The Cracker Butterfly is more arboreal than most butterflies, as it commonly camouflages itself on trees. It feeds not on nectar but on sap, rotting fruit and dung. The Hamadryas baboon however is one of the least arboreal monkeys but it was the most common monkey in Hellenic lands.Hamadryad is referenced as a whole in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "Sonnet To Science."Hamadryad is referenced in Anthony Ashley Cooper's (The Third Earl of Shaftesbury)Characteristics (1714: Treatise 4 Part 3 Section 1). In Aldous Huxley's "Crome Yellow" Anne Wimbush is referred to as "the slim Hamadryad whose movements were like the swaying of a young tree in the wind." Both hamadryads and dryads exist in C.S. Lewis's Narnia.".
