Triptolemus

TARSOS (Ancient city) TURKEY
...They say that when he (Triptolemus) was sent by the Argives in search of Io, who first disappeared at Tyre, he wandered through Cilicia; that some of his Argive companions separated from him and founded Tarsus; that the rest attended him along the sea-coast, and, relinquishing their search, settled with him on the banks of the Orontes; that Gordys the son of Triptolemus, with some of those who had accompanied his father, founded a colony in Gordy?a, and that the descendants of the rest became settlers among the inhabitants of Antioch. (Strab. 16.2.5)
