Tyllus

This means that Tyllus is a native of Lydia (modern day Western Turkey) of the late 2nd millennium BC.

This version given by Dionysius of Halicarnassus differs to that of Herodotus in that it makes Atys the grandson of Manes, rather than his son.

[4] According to Herodotus in the first chapter of the Histories, Tyllus was the father of Halie,[5] who married Cotys,[4] a son of Manes, an early king of Lydia.

The children of Halie and Cotys (the grandchildren of Tyllus) were Atys and Asies, after whom the Lydians claim the continent of Asia was named.

Atys had two sons, Lydus[7] and Tyrrhenus,[3] after whom, according to the Greeks, the Lydian people[7] and the Tyrrhenians (the Etruscans) were named, respectively.
