Otrera
Amazon and wife of Mars who first founded the temple of Diana at Ephesus; Pausanias records that women from the Thermodon sacrificed there from of old and fled to the sanctuary from Heracles and Dionysus.1
Coresus
Aboriginal founder of Artemis' sanctuary at Ephesus — distinct from the Calydonian priest Coresus of Pausanias 7.21.2
Ephesus
Thought to have been a son of the river Cayster; from him the city received its name.3

Son of Codrus, appointed king of the Ionians who sailed against Ephesus; he expelled the Leleges and Lydians from the upper city, took Samos, and was killed fighting the Carians — buried where his tomb was shown at Ephesus.4
