Dryopes or Dryopians were one of the aboriginal tribes of ancient Greece. According to Herodotus, their earliest abode is said to have been on Mount Oeta in Central Greece and its adjacent valleys, in the district called after them, Dryopis (Δρυοπίς). The Dorians settled in that part of their country which lay between Oeta and Mount Parnassus, and which was afterwards called Doris; but Dryopis originally extended as far north as the river Spercheios. The name of Dryopis was still applied to the latter district in the time of Strabo, who calls it a tetrapolis, like Doris.
