Iliad
Trojan-allied warrior killed by a spear-thrust to the neck from Achilles.
On this he struck Dryops with his spear, about the middle of his neck, and he fell headlong at his feet.
Hymn 19 to Pan
Dryops is the father of Pan's mother.
For there, though a god, he used to tend curly-fleeced sheep in the service of a mortal man, because there fell on him and waxed strong melting desire to wed the rich-tressed daughter of Dryops, and there he brought about the merry marriage.
