Tyllus

In Greek mythology Tyllus is an Autochthon (someone that "sprung from the earth itself").[1] He is also the father of Halie, who married Cotys[2], who himself was a son of Manes, an early king of Lydia. The children of Halie and Cotys (and therefore Tyllus's grandchildren) were Asies and Atys. Atys, after his father died became king of Lydia and was also claimed by some sources to be a descendant of Heracles and Omphale. [3]
