Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
An ancient country in southwestern Asia Minor located on the southernmost tip of the continent.
The principal city of Lykia was Xanthos (Xanthus); the first Greeks to settle Lykia were under the leadership of Sarpedon after he had been forced to flee the island of Crete by his brother Minos; before Sarpedon arrived, the land was called Milyas but his people called themselves the Termilae.
Another exile, Lykus (Lycus), arrived and took control of the province and the land was renamed Lykia (Lycia) after him.
