Dryas of Calydon

Markx121993:


In [[Greek mythology]], '''Dryas''' ([[Ancient Greek]]: Δρύας, [[Genitive case|gen.]] Δρύαντος, from δρῦς "oak") was a lord from [[Calydon]] who was also one of the famous [[Calydonian Boar|Calydonian hunters]].<ref name=":0">[[Apollodorus of Athens|Pseudo-Apollodorus]]. ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'', [https://ift.tt/2MdgNzV 1.8.2] English Translation by Sir James George Frazer, F.B.A., F.R.S. in 2 Volumes. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1921.</ref><ref name=":1">[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]]. ''Fabulae'', [https://ift.tt/2MD4NET 173].

== Family ==
Dryas was a son of [[Ares]]<ref name=":0" /><ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]]. ''Fabulae'', [https://ift.tt/2MD4NET 159]. Translated and edited by Mary Grant. University of Kansas Publications in Humanistic Studies</ref> and a brother of [[Tereus]]. But according to [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]]' ''Fabulae'', he was also called the son of [[Iapetus]] ("the piercer"), probably an epithet of Ares.<ref name=":1" />

== Mythology ==
In the account of the ''Fabulae'' by Hyginus, [[Tereus]], having heard the prophecy that his son was to be killed by the hand of a relative and falsely believing that it was Dryas whom the oracle indicated, murdered the innocent man (whereas the son was actually murdered by [[Procne]]).<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]]. ''Fabulae'', [https://ift.tt/2MD4NET 45]. Translated and edited by Mary Grant. University of Kansas Publications in Humanistic Studies</ref><blockquote>''"Tereus, son of Mars [Ares], a Thracian . . . thinking that his brother Dryas was plotting his son's death, he killed the innocent man."''</blockquote>
