Doris, a small mountainous district of ancient Hellas, between Phocis, Ætolia, Locris, and Thessalia, was the home of the Dorians (q.v.). It is now a part of the modern government of Phocis.—Doris was also the name of a district in Asia Minor on the coasts of Caria, inhabited by colonists from the Peloponnus.
