From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Town of ancient Cilicia
Laertes (Ancient Greek: Λαέρτης)[1] was a town of ancient Cilicia.[2] Some have supposed that the philosopher Diogenes Laërtius was from this town.[3] Strabo called it a stronghold.[4]
Its site is located near Cebelires in Antalya, Asiatic Turkey.[2][5] Archaeologists have excavated the site; antiquities may be found at the Alanya Archaeological Museum.
