Caunus
The city is situated on the land
across the Dalyan strait at Ortaca. According to
poet Ovidius, Miletos had twins, Caunus and Byblis.
During adolescence, Byblis felt an enormous love for
her twin and grew most possessive. Though well aware
of the unnatural aspect of her love, Byblis sent a
letter of declaration to Caunus whereupon the
mythological King was both enraged and disgusted. To
avoid meeting her, he escaped from Miletos, to the
Carian and Lycian border where he founded the city
of Caunus
