Dryops (Oeta)

Dryops (Oeta): For other uses, see Dryops.

In Greek mythology, Dryops was a son of the river god Spercheus and the Danaid Polydora. He reigned in the neighborhood of Mount Oeta^[1] and was believed to have given his name to the people Dryopes; the people, original inhabitants of the banks of River Spercheios, retained the name after having transferred to Asine in Peloponnesus^[2]^[3].

Dryops had one daughter, Dryope^[1], and also a son Cragaleus^[4].
