=== Legacy ===
Ancient Cilicia features in Greek mythology as a place whose name is derived from a people named the {{Transliteration|grc|Kilikes}} ({{lang|grc|Κιλικες}}) who lived in the [[Troad]]. The Hittitologist [[Trevor Bryce]] considers it plausible that populations from the Troad might have migrated to the southeast into the region which later became Cilicia during the drastic changes which formed part of the [[Late Bronze Age collapse]] at the end of the 2nd millennium BC.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=165}}
