Dorieus was a son of Diagoras of Rhodes and the brother of Kallipateira and thus the uncle of Peisirrhodos, as well as an athlete who competed in the Olympic Games in Greece during the 5th century BCE.

Claiming descent from the hero Herakles, Dorieus had won in 432 BCE, and so was the defending Pankration champion in subsequent competitions. However, in 428 BCE he was defeated by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who replaced the Spartan champion Testikles in the games at the last minute.[1]

Trivia

  • Historically, Dorieus won the Pankration event in 428 BCE. He would also go on to win the event at the next Olympic Games in 424 BCE.
