In Greek mythology, Tyllus is an Autochthon of Lydia.[a][1][2] He was the father of Halie, who married Cotys, an early king of Lydia (perhaps one of the Maeoniae).[b] Tyllus is attested by only one author: Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in his Roman Antiquities.[3] However, the same family tree of the early Kings of Lydia can be in Herodotus and Xanthus.
The term autochthon is an Ancient Greek word which translates as someone that "sprung from the earth itself". It refers to the indigenous people of a region or area. This means that Tyllus is a native of Lydia (modern day Western Turkey) of the late 2nd millennium BC.
