The Mythical Hamadryad: A Spirit of the Tree

A hamadryad is a mythological creature that is said to be the spirit of a tree. In Greek mythology, a hamadryad is a nymph who is born, lives, and dies within the same tree. If the tree were to die or be cut down, the nymph would also perish. The word "hamadryad" comes from the Greek words "hama" meaning "within" and "drys" meaning "oak".
