Dryope
Template:About In Greek mythology, Dryope (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Δρυόπη derived from δρῦς drys, "oak"; dryope "woodpecker"<ref>Graves, Robert, (1955) 1960. The Greek Myths.</ref>) is the name attributed to several distinct figures:
- Dryope, daughter of Dryops and mother of Amphissus by Apollo. She was the wife of Andraemon.
- Dryope, mother of Tarquitus by Faunus, the god of the woods. Tarquitus was slain by Aeneas.<ref>Virgil, Aeneid 10.551</ref>
- Dryope, a nymph responsible for kidnapping Hylas, which she did in accord with Hera's will.<ref>Valerius Flaccus, 3.529 ff.; Statius, Silvae 1.5.22 & 3.4.42</ref> 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.<ref>Statius, Thebaid 2.614 ff.</ref>
- Dryope, a Lemnian.<ref>Valerius Flaccus, 2.174</ref>
- Dryope, mother of the Oenotropae by Anius.<ref>A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology, Anius</ref>
