 It is well known that Otto was a great admirer of the rural <unk> , a nomadic group of Greek mountain shepherds thought by some scholars to be descended from the Dorians . It is believed that at an early age he fathered an illegitimate child in the <unk> clan named " <unk> " . This child was named Manoli <unk> , was brought to Athens and remained there after Otto 's 1862 departure , living as a merchant trader with children of his own . The descendants of Manoli still reside in Athens today . However , since Otto had no legitimate issue , he chose his brother as Crown Prince of Greece .
