Tmolus (son Of Ares)
Tmolus (; grc, Τμῶλος, ''Tmōlos'') was a mythical Greek king of Lydia and husband to Omphale. In Greek mythology he figures as a mountain god, a son of Ares and Theogone and he judged the musical contest between Pan and Apollo. When Tmolus was gored to death by a bull on the mountain that bears his name, his widow, Omphale, became queen-regnant of Lydia. Through her, Lydian reign passed into the hands of the Tylonid ( Heraclid) dynasty. He is almost certainly the same as the Tmolus who was the father of Tantalus by Plouto according to a scholion to Euripides ''Orestes'' 5.Gantz, p. 536.

Mount Tmolus
Mount Tmolus (Ancient Greek: Τμῶλος, modern Bozdağ; highest point: 2,157 m), named after Tmolus, King of Lydia, is in "a mountain range on the south of Sardis, forming the watershed between the basins of the Hermus in the north and the Cayster in the south, and being connected in the east with Mount Messogis." It is situated in Lydia in western Turkey with the ancient Lydian capital Sardis at its foot and Hypaepa on its southern slope. The mountain was "celebrated for its excellent wine-growing slopes. It was equally rich in metals; and the river Pactolus, which had its source in Mount Tmolus, at one time carried from its interior a rich supply of gold." The geography of Tmolus and the contest between Pan and Apollo, associated with the mythical Tmolus, son of Ares, are mentioned in Ovid's ''Metamorphoses The ''Metamorphoses'' ( la, Metamorphōsēs, from grc, μεταμορφώσεις: "Transformations") is a Latin narrative poem from 8 CE by the Roman poet O ...

Tmolus (town)
Aureliopolis in Lydia (Ancient Greek: Αυρηλιούπολις Λυδίας) is a city in the Roman province of Lydia, previously called Tmolus or in Greek Τμῶλος (Tmolos). It issued coinage under each of these names, and one coin combines both names. In the Synecdemus it appears as Auliou Kome. The name "Aureliopolis" was given in honour of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. History It was a town of ancient Lydia, situated on Mount Tmolus, and was destroyed during the Lydia earthquake, otherwise known as the Earthquake of the Twelve Cities, in 17 CE. Some coins are extant with the inscription Τμωλείτων, but the actual minting of the coins issued in its name may have been done in the more important neighbouring city of Sardis. Bishop Aureliopolis was the site of an early bishopric and the names of five of its ancient bishops are preserved in a number of documents. *Antiochus took part in the First Council of Nicaea in 325 *John participated actively in the Council of ...
