Cilicia, Tarsos AR Stater. Circa 425-400 BC. Bellerophon riding Pegasos to right, wielding spear overhead in right hand; trident-head before, ankh symbol below / Bellerophon riding Pegasos to left, wielding spear overhead in right hand; trident head before, key symbol below. Roma II, 344; cf. Baldwins 34, 214 (tetrobol); otherwise unpublished. 10.71g, 22mm, 11h. Extremely Fine. Of the greatest rarity - the second known example, and the finest by far. From a private English collection. The use of Bellerophon on this coin is a reflection of one of the city's early foundation legends. The myths tell us that as Bellerophon's fame grew, so did his hubris. He felt that because of his victory over the Chimaera, and because he thought he was a god he deserved to fly to Mount Olympus, the realm of the gods. This presumption angered Zeus and he sent a gadfly to sting Bellerophon's mount, Pegasos, causing Pegasos to accidentally throw Bellerophon to the ground. The story as it pertains to Tarsos is that it was on the site of the future city that Bellerophon landed, hurting his foot, thus leading the city to be named tar-sos (the sole of the foot). In this region, on the Plain of Aleion ("Wandering"), Bellerophon lived out his life in misery as a blinded and crippled hermit, grieving and shunning the haunts of men until he died.
