For the Dorian mode in music, see Dorian mode; for the "Moesha" character see Dorian Long. The Dorians (Greek: , Dōrieis, singular , Dōrieus) were one of the principal ancient Greek tribes, the other three being the Achaeans (also known as Danaans ,Δαναοί, Argives ,Ἀργεῖοι, and Mycenaeans), the Ionians and the Aeolians. They were distinguished by the Doric Greek dialect and by characteristic society and historical traditions. Traditional accounts place their origins in the north, north-eastern mountainous regions of Greece, ancient Macedonia and Epirus, whence obscure circumstances drove them south into the Peloponnese, to certain Aegean islands, parts of the coast of Asia Minor and Magna Graecia. Late mythology gave them an eponymous founder, Dorus son of Hellen, the mythological patriarch of the Hellenes.
