Doris (
Greek: :
Eth. ,
pl. , ; , Dorienses), is a small mountainous district in ancient
Greece, bounded by
Aetolia, southern
Thessaly, the
Ozolian Locrians, and
Phocis; the original homeland of the
Dorian Greeks. It lies between Mounts
Oeta and
Parnassus, and consists of the valley of the river
Pindus , a tributary of the
Cephissus, into which it flows not far from the sources of the latter. The Pindus is now called the
Apostoliá. This valley is open towards Phocis; but it lies higher than the valley of the Cephissus, rising above the towns of Drymaea, Tithronium, and
Amphicaea, which are the last towns in Phocis.
