MOPSOUESTIA (Ancient city) TURKEY
The son of Apollo and Manto, the daughter of Tiresias, and also
a celebrated seer. He contended in prophecy with Calchas at Colophon, and showed
himself superior to the latter in prophetic power. He was believed to have founded
Mallos in Cilicia in conjunction with the seer Amphilochus. A dispute arose between
the two seers respecting the possession of the town, and both fell in combat by
each other's hands. Mopsus had an oracle at Mallos, which existed as late as the
time of Strabo.
