History
In Greek mythology, Lyrnessus was a town or city in Dardania, inhabited by Cilicians. It was closely associated with the nearby Cilician Thebe. At the time of the Trojan War, it was said to have been ruled by a king named Euenus. Briseis, the widow of his son Mynes, became a prize of Achilles.
