Dotis (son of Asterius)
In Greek mythology, Dotis (Ancient Greek: Δωτίς or Δωτίδος) or Dotius (Δώτιος) was the son of Asterius and Amphictyone, daughter of Phthius. According to Pherecydes (c. 450 BC), he was the eponym of the city Dotion (Dotium) in Thessaly.[1][2]
Alternate mythical eponyms were Dotia, daughter of Elatus,[3] and Dotus, son of either Pelasgus[4] or Neonus, son of Hellen.[5]
