  CHAPTER - SARDIS: THE CITY OF DEATH.
In the Roman period it was almost like a city of the past, a relic of the period of barbaric warfare, which lived rather on its ancient prestige than on its suitability to present conditions.
The great plain of the Hermus is bounded on the south by the broad ridge of Mount Tmolus, which reaches from the main mass of the Central Anatolian plateau like an arm extended westwards towards the sea.

 Tmolus
Mount Tmolus, of which Tmolus was the namesake, lies in Lydia, or Phrygia (modern-day Turkey), between Sardis and Hypaepae.
The second Tmolus, a son of Ares and Theogone, lived later and was the husband of Omphale.
This Tmolus, son of Ares, was gored to death by a boar on the mountain that bears his name; his widow, Omphale, thereby became Queen of Lydia.

 Cantata BWV 201 - Discussions
On the mountain Tmolus (Timolus) in Lydia, Pan boasts of the reed-pipe that is named after him, and challenges the inventor of the kithara, Phoebus Apollo to a competition.
Thus, Tmolus and Midas have become the seconds to the two disputants, and while Phoebus sings to strings, flute and oboe, Pan is not accompanied not by the flute, but rather by the violins.
Tmolus' aria "Phoebus, deine Melodei" (Phoebus, your melody), with obbligato oboe d' amore, corresponds in its demeanour to that of Phoebus.

He left the fields themselves, and with a worthier band of followers sought out the vineyards of his own Mount Tmolus, and the River Pactolus, though at that time it was not a golden stream, nor envied for its valuable sands.
Mount Tmolus, stands steep and high, commanding a wide view of the distant sea, its sloping sides extending to Sardis on the one side, and as far as tiny Hypaepae on the other.

 Who Prays for god?
So it was in the great amphibious amphitheatre of Tmolus that the flautist and the lyrist met for the challenge, the Rivergod and King Midas of Phrygia presiding as jury for the competition.
Tmolus smiled, for he knew beforehand the inevitable outcome of the ill-conceived contest, and declared Apollo the winner.
That cursed mouth of your shall be your end, and that cursed flute, the instrument of your hubris, shall be the instrument of your death." With that the god gestured and the enchanted flute became a projectile, ramming itself down the throat of the flautist, vertically impaling him into the stage.
