Dryope was a nymph, self-proclaimed Queen of the Dryads, and follower of Hercules's exploits.
At one point, Dryope was a prisoner of the witch Janus. She was aged when Janus tapped into her life-force but reverted to her young self when Hercules killed Janus.[1]
Later, Dryope was involved with the god Pan and his attempted takeover of the villages of Mercantilius and Pastoralis.[2]
