- There are two traditio ns about the origins of the Lycians in the ancient sources: the Iliad provides the family tree of the Lycian leaders figh ting before Troy; and the well-knownfragment by Panyasis which tells of the "syngeneia" or kinship between the important cities of the Xanthos Valley and the eponymos of Mount Kragos, the most significant mountain in Lycia. Although for diffe rent reasons, both traditions take the origin of the Lycians back to Hellas, to Ephyra through Be llerophon (Bellerophontes) and to Boiotia through Ogyges. However, Ogyges, claimed by Panyasis to be the ancestor of the Lycians, re presented a very dark figure in the minds of the Greeks, while his possibly Carian name suggests he may have originally come from southwestern Anatolia. In addition, the fact that Panyasis includes Tre miles in the Lycian fa mily tree, that he creates the figure of Praxidice who reflects certain cults peculiar to Lycia, and uses the local names Sirbis/Sirbos for the River Xanthos, show that he seems to have Hellenized an existing local tradition. At this point, the question as to why two different traditions connect the origin of the Lycians to Hellas can be answered in the following manner: Homer had information through second-hand sources, while Panyasis had direct information. Thus, the fact that Homer does not talk of the Lycians calling themselves Termilai is of significance. Yet, the two narrations have many points in common, and they can be considered to be, on essential points, identical. Moreover, Sarpedon, whose Luwian origin name suggests that he was a native, is mentioned as the leader of the Termilai in the post-Homeric tradition, thus he can also be identified as belonging to the Tremiles.
