In Greek mythology Chrysopeleia (/ˌkrɪsɵpɨˈliːə/; Greek Χρυσοπέλεια) was a Hamadryad nymph. The most prolonged account of her is given in John Tzetzes’ scholia on Lycophron and runs as follows. The tree in which Chrysopeleia dwelt was put in danger by the waters of a flooding river. She was rescued by Arcas who happened to be hunting in the neighborhood: he rerouted the river and secured the tree with a dam.
