In Greek mythology, Dotus (Ancient Greek: Δώτου or Δῶτος) was the eponym of Dotium (Dotion) in Thessaly. He was the son of Neonus, son of Hellen,[1] or of Pelasgus.[2]
Alternatively, the other mythical eponyms of the Dotian plain were Dotius, son of Asterius and Amphictyone, daughter of Phthius;[3][4] or of Dotia, daughter of Elatus.[5]
