Trysa

Trysa or Tryssa was a town of ancient Lycia, located between Cyaneae and Myra.¹ It has been archaeologically examined, and among the finds are Lycian tombs, most notably the Heroon of Trysa.² Greek inscriptions which were found there show that there was a cult of Zeus Eleutherios and of Helios at Trysa.³ The town was also inhabited during the Byzantine period and there was a church on the acropolis.³

Its site is located near the modern town of Gölbaşı, Asiatic Turkey.¹⁴
