The Dryad: A Novel
1905

The Dryad, a historical fiction novel by Justin H. McCarthy, was first published in 1905. Set in medieval Greece under Frankish rule, it intertwines chivalric romance with Greek mythology, focusing on the interactions between a soldier of fortune, a noble prince, and an immortal dryad named Argathona. The narrative explores themes of idealism versus cynicism, the persistence of ancient magic, and the complexities of love between mortal and immortal beings.
