Lyrnessus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Lyrnessus (/lərˈnɛsəs/; Ancient Greek: Λυρνησσός) was a town or city in Dardania (Asia minor), inhabited by Cilicians.[1] It was closely associated with the nearby Cilician Thebe. At the time of the Trojan War, it was said to have been ruled by a king named Euenus. His son Mynes' widow is Briseis, who became a prize of Achilles.[2]
