Dotus
 | This article relies on a single source. (May 2021) |
In Greek mythology, Dotus (Ancient Greek: Δώτου or Δῶτος, romanized: Dōtos, lit. 'given' or 'gift'[1]) was the eponym of Dotium (Dotion) in Thessaly. He was the son of Neonus, son of Hellen,[2] or of Pelasgus.[3]
Alternatively, the other mythical eponyms of the Dotian plain were Dotius, son of Asterius and Amphictyone, daughter of Phthius;[4][5] or of Dotia, daughter of Elatus.[6]
