Tlos, town in Lycia.

The origins of the settlement of Tlos dates back to ca 2000 BC. It is known as the city where the mythological hero Bellerophon and his winged flying horse Pegasus lived. Tlos was one of the important cities of Lycia, (and one of the six cities forming the Lycian League)  that was founded according to tradition by Tloos, one of the four sons of Tremiles and Praxidike of the Greek myths. The city in the Lycian language read as Tlawa, and Dalawa in the Hittite sources is identified with Tlos. Even so the area of the city was inhabited  from  the Neolithic period.
