This page lists the kings of Lydia, an ancient kingdom in western Anatolia. The Greeks of Homer's time knew Lydia as Maeonia, which was probably an earlier name for the country. Three dynasties are mentioned by the ancient sources; the first is entirely mythical, the second begins with myth but is partly historical, and the third is entirely real. ==Atyads (Tantalids)== Herodotus gives Manes as the eponymous first king of Maeonia, with a son named Atys (Atyllus). Other sources, such as Strabo, name Tmolus and his son Tantalus as kings of the region at the same time, ruling from Sipylus. Since Omphale is a member of both these families, it is conjectured that they are identical.〔(Greek Mythology Link: Croesus )〕〔(Greek Mythology Link: Tantalus )〕〔(Theoi Project Guide to Greek Mythology: Plouto )〕 *Manes *Atys *Lydus : *The 1768 Universal History (Sale et al), citing various classical sources, inserts the following kings of Lydia between Lydus and Tmolus: Alcymus, Adrymetes, Cambletes *Tmolus : *Sale's ''Universal History'' inserts the following kings of Lydia between Tmolus and Omphale: Theoclymenos, Marsyas, and Iardanus *Omphale (widow of Tmolus, after whom she controlled the kingdom. The reign was assumed by the Tylonids or Heraclids through her) * Tantalus (son of Zeus and Plouto, stepson of Tmolus; according to myth he sacrificed his son Pelops for a feast for the gods and was punished for doing so).〔Herodotus. ''Histories'', 1.7.〕 *(Tantalus) (son of Broteas, married Clytemnestra but never reigned in Lydia). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of kings of Lydia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
