The history of Fethiye, known as Telmessos in the antique period, and the most important city of LYCIA -one of the oldest Anatolian
Civilisations- reaches far back to 5th century BC. A Lycian legend explains the source of the name Telmessos as follows: " The god
Apollo falls in love with the youngest daughter of the King of Phoenicia, Agenor. He disguises himself as a small dog and thus gains
the love of the shy, withdrawn daughter. After he reappears as a handsome man, they have a son, whom they name 'Telmessos' (the land
of lights). The city became part of the first state of the Persians after the invasion of the Persian King Harpagos in 547 BC., along
with other Lycian and Carian cities. Telmessos then joined the Attic-Delos Union established in mid. 5th century BC. and, although it
later left the union and became an independent city, continued its relations with the union till 4th century BC. Legend says that
Alexander the Great, on a mission to invade Anatolia in the winter of 334-333 BC, entered Telmessos harbour with his fleet. The
commander of the fleet, Nekros, asks permission of King Antipatrides of Telmessos for his musicians and slaves to enter the city.
On getting the permission Fethiye, the warriors with guns hidden in the flute boxes capture the acropolis during the feasts held at
night. After being taken over in 1284 by Menteseogullari, a Turkish nation migrating from Central Asia into Asia Minor, the city was
named MEGRI, meaning 'far city', and was included in the Ottoman Empire in 1424.In 1934, the city was renamed as FETHIYE in honor of
Fethi Bey, a martyr pilot of the War Of Independence. An interesting peculiarity of the ancient city is the fame of its oracles. The
oracles of Fethiye Telmessos, devoted to Apollo, have had great impact on the course of ancient history. Ancient Egyptian records
describe the Lycians as allies of the Hittites. Lycia may have been a member state of the Assuwa league of ca. 1250 BC, appearing as
either Lukka or Luqqa. After the collapse of the Hittite Empire, Lycia emerged as an independent "Neo-Hittite" kingdom.According to
Herodotus, Lycia was named after Lycus, the son of Pandion II, king of Athens. The Fethiye Fethiye region was never unified into a
single territory in antiquity, but remained a tightly-knit confederation of fiercely independent city-states.Lycia was frequently
mentioned by Homer as an ally of Troy. 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 Greek mythology, the Lycian kingdom was said to
have been ruled by another Sarpedon, a Cretan exile and brother to King Minos; Sarpedon's followers were called Termilae, and they
founded a dynasty after their conquest of a people called the Milyans. As with the founding of Miletus, this mythical story implies a
Cretan connection to the settlement of Asia Minor. Lycia appears elsewhere in Greek myth, such as in the story of Bellerophon, who
eventually succeeded to the throne of the Lycian king Iobates (or Amphianax).Lycia came under the control of the Persian Empire in
546 BC when Harpagus of Media, Fethiye a general in the service of Cyrus II conquered Asia Minor. Harpagus's descendants ruled Lycia
until 468 BC when Athens wrested control away. Persia then retook Lycia in 387 BC and held it until it was conquered by Alexander the
Great. It subsequently passed into the hands of the Seleucids before Fethiye falling to the Roman Republic in 189 BC. The heir of
Augustus, Gaius Caesar, was killed there in 4 AD. In 43, the emperor Claudius annexed it to the Roman Empire and united it with
Pamphylia as a Roman province. Fethiye subsequently became part of the Byzantine Empire before being overrun by the (Turkish) Ottoman
Empire and eventually becoming part of Turkey.
