Driade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Die Driades (Grieks: Δρυάδες; van Δρυάς, sing) was drie nimfe van eikebome in die Griekse mitologie. (In Grieks dui dris op "eik", van die Indo-Europese stam *derew(o)-, "boom" of "hout".)[1] Dit het egter die naam geword van drie nimfe in die algemeen.
Die Driades word deur baie beskou as die "verkose kinders" van Moeder Natuur. Hulle was skaam, behalwe in die teenwoordigheid van die godin Artemis, wat vir die meeste nimfe ’n vriendin was.
