Regarding Dryope's seduction.

There has been some misinformation about the intercourse between Apollo and Dryope. A wrong version of the tale has been added that Apollo turned himself into a snake and coiled around her arms to rape her is nowhere stated in original texts. "Apollon, seeing her dancing, felt an urge to couple with her. He first changed himself into a tortoise. Dryope, with the other Nymphai, was amused by it and they made a toy of the tortoise. She placed it in her bosom. He changed from a tortoise to a serpent. The frightened Nymphai abandoned Dryope. Apollon coupled with her" Antoninus Liberalis, Metamorphoses 32

This is the tale told by Antoninus. Please don't add the tale written on some random websites. Adiga77 (talk) 11:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Mother of Pan

The Homeric Hymn to Pan states that Pan was the child of Hermes and the daughter of Dryops, whose name isn't given:

... waxed strong melting desire to wed the rich-tressed daughter of Dryops, and there he brought about the merry marriage. And in the house she bare Hermes a dear son who from his birth was marvellous to look upon, ...

Both Gantz, p. 110 ("she is not named") and Hard, p. 215 ("unnamed") explicitly state that the daughter in question is not named, and I can find no source to suggest that she is the Dryope which is the subject of this article. I have removed the statement from the article, and will make adjustments accordingly at Pan (god). – Michael Aurel (talk) 07:14, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
