Nymphs of the woods, often referred to as Dryads in Greek mythology, are tree nymphs or tree spirits associated with oak trees. They are considered guardians of the forests and are depicted as beautiful maidens who embody the essence of nature. Dryads are closely tied to their specific trees; if the tree is harmed, the Dryad may suffer as well. They symbolize the connection between humans and the natural world, often representing fertility and the life force of the forest.
