Doridas (King of Corinth)

Doridas (old Greek Δωρίδας = the Dorian), the son of Propodas, was a king of Corinth in Greek mythology. Together with his brother Hyanthidas, he ascended the throne of Corinth after his father. Aletes, the son of Hippotes, led the Dorians against the city, conquered it and drove the inhabitants away. Doridas and Hyanthidas had to let him rule, but stayed in Corinth.
