Page "Dryas" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
In Iliad 1, Nestor numbers Dryas among an earlier generation of heroes of his youth, " the strongest men that Earth has bred, the strongest men against the strongest enemies, a savage mountain-dwelling tribe whom they utterly destroyed "; " Shepherd of the People ", Nestor calls him ( Iliad 1. 263 ).
No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic.
