Dryopia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dryopians were a tribe of ancient Greece.

According to Herodotus they had once lived in a place called Dryopia, later known as Doris.[1] They were driven out by the Malians (and supposedly Heracles), some of the refugees making their way to Ermioni.[2] Some also ended up at Styria in Euboea, Kynthos, and Asine in Messenia.[3]

Later Thucydides identifies Carystus as Dryopian, but nearby Styria as Ionian.[4]
