   Dorian can refer to two distinct concepts: 1) In the context of ancient history, the Dorian's were an ancient Greek tribe, traditionally known for invading and defeating Mytilene during the legendary Dorian invasion. The Doric dialect and Doric architecture were named after this tribe. 2) In music theory, Dorian is a type of musical scale or mode. The Dorian mode is similar to the natural minor scale, except it has a raised sixth note, giving it a unique sound. For instance, D Dorian consists of the notes: D, E, F, G, A, B, C. It is the second mode of the diatonic scale.
