Heraclea Cybistra


Heraclea Cybistra, or simply Heraclea or Herakleia, also transliterated as Heracleia, was a town of ancient Cappadocia or Cilicia; located near modern Ereğli in Konya Province, Turkey. It had some importance in Hellenistic times owing to its position near the point where the road to the Cilician Gates enters the hills. It lay in the way of armies and was more than once sacked by the Arab invaders of Asia Minor.
About 12km south of Heraclea is the Hittite İvriz relief.
