Ancient Mylasa was one of the most important cities in inland Caria. Early however insufficiently published finds date back to the late Bronze Age, including some fragments of Mycenaean clay vessels, probably from the 15th to 13th/12th centuries B.C. In the 5th century BC. Milasa became a part of the Attic Sea League and was the seat of the Carian rulers of the Hecatomnid dynasty in the 4th century, before king Maussolos (400-352 BC) mooved his seat to Halicarnassus ca. 360 BC. In the Hellenistic period, Mylasa belonged to different empires one after the other. During the Parthian invasion in 40 BC Mylasa was severely devastated and lost its importance. In the 4th century AD it became the seat of a Christian bishop in late antiquity.
It is possible that Mylasa can be identified with the city of Mutamutašša, which is mentioned several times in Hittite sources.
