Mopsus
Mopsus (; Ancient Greek: Μόψος, Mopsos) was the name of one of two famous seers in Greek mythology; his rival being Calchas. A historical or legendary Mopsos or Mukšuš may have been the founder of a house in power at widespread sites in the coastal plains of Pamphylia and Cilicia (in today's Turkey) during the Early Iron Age.
Mopsus was considered to be the son of Manto either by Rhacius or Apollo. The earliest mention of Mopsus in ancient Greek sources is in Callinus of Ephesos and Hesiod.
