hamadryad, n.Definitions

A Hamadryad (n.) appearing ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in a patient's series is an Eve who arose on her own rather than from Adam's side, compensating both the one-sidedness of ultra-civilized man and the biblical myth of Eve's secondary creation.

The Hamadryad (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the tree nymph that one commentator saw in Aelia Laelia — psychologically Agatho's anima, projected into an oak and teasing him like a sprite from groves and springs.
