Mopsus

Mopsus is a legendary seer of Greek tradition, said to be a son of Manto and grandson of Tiresias, who defeated Calchas in a contest of prophecy and led migrants into southern Anatolia after the Trojan War. Cities of Pamphylia and Cilicia, such as Perge and Mopsuestia, honoured him as founder. A Luwian–Phoenician inscription at Karatepe names a dynasty of the 'house of Mopsus'.
