Tremilus

In Greek mythology, Tremilus (Ancient Greek: Τρεμίλου or Τρέμιλος, romanized: Tremilos) or Tremiles (Τρεμίλης) was the eponym of Tremile, which was later called Lycia. Another variant of his name was Termilus.

Family

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 as the progeny of Tremiles and Praxidike.^[2]

Mythology

When Tremiles died, Bellerophontes renamed the Tremileis Lycians. Hekataios refers to them as Tremilas in the 4th book of his Genealogies.^[3]
