Il. 6.184But others, who assert that the Lycians were in earlier times called Solymi, but in later times were called TermilaeSee 12. 8. 5. from the Termilae who came there from Crete with Sarpedon, and after this were called Lycians, from Lycius the son of Pandion, who, after having been banished from his homeland, was admitted by Sarpedon as a partner in his empire, are not in agreement with Homer.
