Orea
A Hamadryad nymph of the Oak tree.
The Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus lists eight Hamadryads, the
daughters of Oxylus and Hamadryas:
Carya, the nut-tree
Balanos, the acorn-bearing oak
Craneus, the cornel-tree
Orea, the ash
Aegeirus, the poplar
Ptelea, the elm
Ampulus, the vine
Suke, the fig-tree
From Athenaeus of Naucratis, The deipnosophists
14. Tryphon also speaks of the names of figs in tho second book of his History of Plants, and says that Dorion states, in his book of the Farm, that Sukeas, one of tho Titans, being pursued by Jupiter, was received in her bosom as in an asylum by his mother Earth; and that the earth sent forth that plant as a place of refuge for her son; from whom also the city Sukea in Cilicia has its name. But Phcrenicua the epic poet, a Herucican by birth, says that the fig-tree is so called from Suke the daughter of Oxylus: for that Oxylus the son of Orius having intrigued with his sister Hamadryas, had several children, and among them Carya (the nut-tree), Balanos (the acorn-bearing oak), Craneus (the cornel-tree), Orea (the ash), Aegeirus (the poplar), Ptelea (the elm). Ampulus (the vine), Suke (the fig-tree): and that these daughters were nil called the Hamadryad Nymphs; and that from them many of the trees were named. On which account Hipponax says
The fig-tree black, the sister of the vine
And Sosibius the Lacedaemonian, after slating tint tho fig-tree was tho discovery of Bacchus, says that on this account the Lacedaemonians worship Bacchus Sukites. But the people of Naxus, as Andriscus and Aglaesthenes related, state that Bacchus is called Meilichius, because of his gift of tho fruit of tho fig-tree and that on this account the face of the god whom they call Bacchus Dionysus is like a vine, and that of the god called Bacchus Meiliehius is like a fig..
