In Greek mythology Penelope or Penelopeia is a dryad, the daughter of Dryops. She resides on mount Kyllene in Arcadia and is the mother of the god Pan or of Nomios by Hermes.[1][2][3]
This particular Penelope is sometimes confused with her namesake, Penelope, the wife and queen of Odysseus, in stories in which she is said to be the mother of Pan.[4]
