Marmara was a town of ancient Lycia, whose inhabitants put up a ferocious defense to Alexander the Great during his invasion. The name does not appear in history, but the ethnonym is cited by Diodorus Siculus.[1] The town's territory is called Mnarike (Template:Lang-grc) in the Stadiasmus Patarensis, implying a town name of Mnara.[2][3]
The identification of Mnara with Marmara has generally be accepted to the site of Kavak Dağ.[4][5][6] Excavations began in 2004 and are on-going.[3]
