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