↑Caldwell, p. 38 n. 178–187: "The nymphs calledMeliai are properly "ash-tree" nymphs; the Greek word for ash-trees ismeliai also", and according to Larson, p. 29: "most commentators agree" that "the Meliai are ash-tree nymphs", although according to West, p. 221 n. 187Μελίας, inCallimachus,Hymn 4—To Delos79–85, andNonnus'Dionysiaca, and probably in Hesiod as well, the Meliae are simply "tree-nymphs, probably without distinction of the particular kind of tree".

↑Hesiod,Works and Days140–155 (Evelyn-White): "Zeus the Father made a third generation of mortal men, a brazen race, sprung from ash-trees [meliai]", here interpretingmeliai as the common noun ash-trees, as didEustathius. HoweverProclus thought it meant ash-tree nymphs (see Evelyn-White'snote; Larson, p. 29), cf.Apollonios Rhodios,Argonautica4.1641–1642, which makes it simply "ash-trees". According to Most, p. 19 n. 9, "It is unclear what exactly the relation is between the Melian nymphs, the ash trees with which they are closely associated, and human beings, who may have originated from one or the other of these".
