Doris of Locris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doris (Ancient Greek: Δωρίς) of Locris was the daughter of Xenetus, wife of the Sicilian tyrant Dionysius I of Syracuse, and mother of Dionysius II of Syracuse.[1][2]

She died before her husband, who seems to have lamented her in one of his tragedies.[3]
