(Σόλυμοι; Sólymoi). Tribe in eastern Lycia / southwestern Pisidia. Hom. Il. 6,184 and 204 mention the S. as enemies of Bellerophontes. Linguistically there is a relationship with Luwian [1. 4]. In the Hellenistic/Roman period Solymus, a son of Zeus, was worshipped as the ancestor of the S., primarily in Termessus on Mount Solymus. Zeus Solymeus had a cult there. The warrior hero Solymus was depicted on Imperial period coins of the city [2].
