Dorians

Dorians, one of the four great divisions of the ancient Greeks (the other three being the Achaeans, the AEolians, and the Ionians). They obtained their name from the district of Doris in the centre of Hellas, near Aetolia and Thessalia, and supposed by some to have been their original home. They were'noted for their simple, rough, earnest manners and characteristics, as opposed to the more effeminate, polished grace of the Ionians. But these manners chiefly marked those of Sparta and Crete: the Dorians e.g. of the Colonies are much more like the Ionians in character.
