Sarpedon (Cilicia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarpedon (Ancient Greek: Σαρπηδών) was a coastal town of ancient Cilicia, mentioned by the anonymous author of the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax as abandoned in his time (c. 330s BCE).[1]

Its site is likely located near Cape Sarpedonion (Incekum Burnu)[2] in Asiatic Turkey.
