Penelope (dryad)


In Greek mythology Penelope or Penelopeia is a dryad, the daughter of Dryops. She resides on mount Kyllene in Arcadia and is the mother of the god Pan or of Nomios by Hermes.
This particular Penelope is sometimes confused with her namesake, Penelope, the wife and queen of Odysseus, in stories in which she is said to be the mother of Pan.
