Tremilus
In Greek mythology, Tremilus (Ancient Greek: Τρεμίλου or Τρέμιλος Tremilos) or Tremiles (Τρεμίλης) was the eponym of Tremile which was afterwards called Lycia. Other variant of his name was Termilus.
Family[edit]
Tremiles was married to the nymph Praxidice, daughter of Ogygus, on silver Sibros beside the whirling river. The couple had four sons: Tloos,[1] Pinarus, Cragus and Xanthus. In one account, all sons were mentioned except Xanthus to be the progeny of Tremiles and Praxidike.[2]
Mythology[edit]
When Tremiles died, Bellerophontes renamed the Tremileis Lycians. Hekataios calls them Tremilas in the 4th book of his Genealogies.[3]
