I
Bellerophon
Sent to Lycia bearing baneful tokens, he slew the Chimera, fought the glorious Solymi and the Amazons, and received half the kingly honour; he came to the stream of Xanthus and was bequeathed the Lycian realm.1
II
Sarpedon
Son of Zeus and Europa who fled Crete after Minos' victory, allied with Cilix, and became king of Lycia; Homer makes him and peerless Glaucus captains of the Lycians from the eddying Xanthus.2
