Dryopes

Dryopes or Dryopians (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]
