  • In Greek mythology, Melia or Melie (Ancient Greek Μελία, Μελίη) was the name of several figures. The name Melia comes from μελία, the ancient Greek word for ash-tree. In the plural, the Meliae were a class of nymphs associated with trees, particularly ash-trees. There were several other nymphs (or possible nymphs) named Melia, not necessarily associated with trees, these include: * Melia, a Theban cult figure, who was the mother of Tenerus and Ismenus, by Apollo. She was said to be a daughter of Oceanus. * Melia, mother of Phoroneus and Aegialeus, by her brother Inachus, the Argive river-god. She was also said to be a daughter of Oceanus. * Melia, an Oceanid and a Bithynian nymph, who was the mother, by Poseidon, of Amycus, king of the Bebryces. * Melia, the mother by Silenus of Dolion, the eponym of the Doliones. This is according to the third-century BC poet and grammarian Alexander Aetolus, as reported by the late first-century BC-early first-century AD geographer Strabo. * Melia, the mother by Apollo of Keos, the eponym of the island Keos, according to the third-century BC poet Callimachus. Two other personages named Melia, are known from scholia citing the fifth-century BC mythographer Pherecydes: * Melia, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre and (daughter of King Belus of Egypt), and the sister of Phoenix and . She and her sister became the wives of their first cousins (and uncles) Danaus and Aegyptus, sons of Belus. * Melia, one of the Niobids, the children of Amphion and his wife Niobe, slain by Apollo and Artemis, because of a boast by Niobe. According to the scholia, Pherecydes said she had seven brothers: , Phereus, Eudoros, , Xanthus, and Argeius, and six sisters: Chione, Clytie, , , and Pelopia. (en)
