Unknown Myths A-Z: Dryad

=skulldog:iconskulldog: reports, Sep 15, 2007
Another week, another strange myth to share. Thanks for all the support so far, think you have something odd to share? Feel free to note me with ideas for future creatures, or if you know an unknwon artist who's drawn an unknown creature.

The Dryad, a shy, female spirit of the Oak tree according to Greek mythos. Although now they are associated with any sort of trees. The male counter part to the Dryad is the Satyr, who frequently in art is depicted chasing down Dryads. One common theme to the Dryad myth is that each Dryad is born connected to a single tree, if anything should happen to that tree, she too would die.

For this round of art, I wanted to avoid filling up on only the image of beautiful tree maidens, or green skinned humans. I wanted something a little more....unique.



And lastly, I thought this combination of Dryad + Gargoyle was a nice touch to forgotten myths.



Please take a moment to let the artists featured know you enjoyed their works. A little comment goes a long way.

Dryads I think are more the victims of satyr lechery rather than their companions, as there are also female satyrs...

Wow, I sketched a piece like these about 10 years ago. I don't know where the inspiration came from. It just came out with a few other images that I couldn't explain to you today. So that's what it is. Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. :thumbsup:
