Captain’s report: Victor T. Mayfair of the time ship Zephyros. We’ve landed in an ancient enchanted forest where the trees are more alive than you think – because they’re home to the Dryads. These tree spirits have been protecting the woods for centuries. And trust me, they don’t take kindly to intruders. Dryads are the guardians of trees, specifically oak trees. They’re peaceful, but harm their tree and you’ll have a furious nature spirit on your hands.
These mystical beings were believed to live as long as their trees, and some ancient Greeks even left offerings at their roots, to stay on the Dryads’ good side. Imagine having a forest protector watching your every move. There’s a special type of Dryad called the Hamadryad, who is literally one with her tree. If the tree dies so does she. Talk about being connected to nature?
So, do you think you’d survive a forest full of dryads, or would you risk becoming a tree’s next lesson in respect? Follow Mythos Anthology for the full interview and more mythical explorations.

Associated primarily with oak trees, Dryads are considered nymphs, a type of minor nature deity in Greek mythology. They are deeply connected to the forests, nature, and the life cycles of trees, living in harmony with the wilderness. While typically depicted as gentle and nurturing spirits, Dryads can also be fiercely protective of their homes and the natural world.
