}}<section begin=summary/>'''Melia''' ({{IPAc-en|m|ɛ|.|ˈ|l|i|.|a:}}) is the subsatellite to [[Mellifluus]], with which it shares both its resource composition and its bright turquoise surface color. Unlike Mellifluus, however, Melia has an atmosphere of rich purple and fuchsia, which becomes an exquisite shade of salmon at sunrise and sunset.<section end=summary/>

==Nomenclature==
In [[wikipedia:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]], the Meliae (also called Meliads), or Μελίαι in [[wikipedia:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]], were usually considered to be the [[wikipedia:Nymphs|nymphs]] of the [[wikipedia:Fraxinus|ash tree]], whose name they shared.

According to [[wikipedia:Hesiod|Hesiod]], the Meliae (probably meaning all tree-nymphs) were born from the drops of blood that fell on [[wikipedia:Gaia (mythology)|Gaia]] [Earth] when [[wikipedia:Cronus|Cronus]] castrated [[wikipedia:Uranus_(mythology)|Uranus]]. In Hesiod's ''[[wikipedia:Works and Days|Works and Days]]'', the ash trees, perhaps meaning the Melian nymphs, are said to have been the progenitors of the generation of men belonging to Hesiod's [[wikipedia:Ages of Man|Bronze Age]].
