According to Greek legend, it was founded by the hero Bellerophon, slayer of the Chimera, friend of Perseus and capturer of Pegasus. Nothing is known of the city before Alexander surrounded the inhabitants (called the Slymi) but failed to conquer it in 333 BC, due to insurmountable natural barriers. Although Termessos was not a port city, it acquired lands that stretched to the Port of Antalya, and this is how the Ptolemies were eventually able to take it. In 198 BC, Termessos Minor was founded nearby with the help of Attalos II, King of Pergamon. It became an ally of Rome in 71 BC and was granted independence. The last dated coins were struck in 40 BC and the city forged an alliance with Amyntas of Galatia around 30 BC. Shortly thereafter, the aqueduct was ruined by an earthquake and the city was abandoned.Pisidia was a region of Asia Minor, North of Lycia bordering Caria, Lydia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, that has been inhabited since the Paleolithic Age circa 8000 BC. It was originally called Arzana by the Hittites. Alexander conquered Sagalassos within Pisidia, but the area was finally conquered by Seleucus I Nicator and then passed to the Attalids as a result of the Treaty of Apamea forced on Antiochus III by the Romans in 188 BC. It became part of the Roman province of Asia in 133 BC and temporarily was given to the Cappadocians, but was taken back by Rome in 102 BC. Amyntas was entrusted with the province in 39 BC in order to subdue the Homonadesian bandits and in 25 BC, Pisidia became part of the Province of Galatia. It became an important area for the early spread of Christianity and became the capital of the Christian Pisidian Province in the 4th century after Constantine. It was devastated by earthquakes in 518, plagues in 541 and continued earthquakes along with Arab raids in the 7th century. It was captured by the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century and continuously changed hands between the Byzantines and Turks until 1176 when Sultan Kilicarsian defeated Manuel Commenos.
