Dryopes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dryopes or Dryopians (/ˈdraɪ.əpiːz, draɪˈɒpiənz/; Ancient Greek: Δρύοπες) were a tribe of ancient Greece. According to Herodotus, they had once lived in a place called Dryopis (Δρυοπίς), 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, Kythnos, and Asine in Messenia.[3] Later, Thucydides identifies Carystus as Dryopian, but nearby Styria as Ionian.[4]
