In Greek mythology, Phaethusa or Phaëthusa was a daughter of Helios and Neaera, the personification of the brilliant, blinding rays of the sun. With her twin sister, Lampetia, she guarded the cattle of Thrinacia. She carried a copper staff with which she tended to her father's herd of sheep. She is sometimes listed as among the Heliades, daughters of Helios and Clymene who mourned for their brother Phaethon and were transformed into poplar trees. In the Argonautica however, set explicitly after Phaethon's death, she and her sister are still tending to their father's flock.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hamadryad</span> Greek mythological being

A hamadryad or hamadryas is a Greek mythological being that lives in trees. It is a particular type of dryad which, in turn, is a particular type of nymph. Hamadryads are born bonded to a certain tree on which its life depends. Some maintain that a hamadryad is the tree itself, with a normal dryad being simply the indwelling entity, or spirit, of the tree. If the tree should die, the hamadryad associated with it would die as well. For this reason, both dryads and the other gods would punish mortals who harmed trees.
