Otreus

In the Greek mythological tradition, Otreus (Ancient Greek: Ὀτρεύς) was the legendary founder of Otrea in southern Bithynia (Hellespont Phrygia). His name has also been linked to Otrous, a Phyrgian town on the Eucarpitic plain. He is possibly depicted on coins found in the area of Ilium.

The father of Otreus is supposed by the scholiast on Homer to have been a son of Dymas, presumably the Dymas who was king of Phyrgia.
