The region was never unified into a single territory in antiquity, but remained a tightly-knit confederation of fiercely independent city-states.

In Homer's Iliad, the Lycian contingent was said to have been lead by two esteemed warriors: Sarpedon (son of Zeus and Laodamia) and Glaucus (son of Hippolochus). Elsewhere in ...
