Otreus

In the Greek mythological tradition, Otreus (Ancient Greek: Ὀτρεύς, lit.'the urgent one' or 'the inciter') was the legendary founder of Otrea in southern Bithynia (HellespontPhrygia). 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.
