Dryopia

The Dryopians were a tribe of ancient Greece. According to Herodotus, they had once lived in a place called Dryopia, later known as Doris. [Herodotus. "Histories", i. 56, viii. 31.] They were driven out by the Malians (and supposedly Heracles), some of the refugees making their way to Ermioni. [Herodotus. "Histories", viii. 43.] Some also ended up at Styria in Euboea, Kynthos, and Asine in Messenia. [Herodotus. "Histories", viii. 46, viii. 73.] Later, Thucydides identifies Carystus as Dryopian, but nearby Styria as Ionian. [Thucydides. "History of the Peloponnesian War", vii. 57.]
