Chrysaoris
Chrysaoris (Ancient Greek: Χρυσαορίς) was a town of ancient Caria, perhaps afterwards called Idrias (Ἰδριάς).[1] According to Apollonius, in his Carica, it was the first city which was founded by the Lycians.[1] According to Marcus Mettius Epaphroditus, all Caria was called Chrysaoris.[1] Herodotus mentions a district in Caria, named Idrias, in which the river Marsyas (Çine Çay) had its source.[2] Later, Antiochus built the city of Stratonicea there.
Its site is tentatively located near , Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
