The king's general was tempted with bribes, and finally yielded, and allowed wigs to be imported for them from Greece, and thus the symbol of degredation became the pink of lycian fashion.
"England in the Days of Old"
William Andrews
Cyrus refused terms to the Greeks, except the powerful Milesians, and departing for the East again, left Lydia to be pacified and all the cities of the western coasts, Ionian, Carian, lycian and what not, excepting only Miletus, to be reduced by his viceroys.
"The Ancient East"
D. G. Hogarth
Ye nymphs of meadows where soft waters flow Thou ocean headland, pealing thy deep knell, Where oft within my cavern as I lay My hair was moist with dashing south-wind's spray, And ofttimes came from Hermes' foreland high Sad replication of my storm-vext cry; Ye fountains and thou lycian water sweet,- I never thought to leave you, yet my feet Are turning from your paths,-we part for aye.

Sophocles
