 In Thracian mythology, Heros was a god of the underworld, usually depicted on funeral statues as a horseman slaying a beast with a spear. He was also known as Pirmeroula or Karabazmos, epithets which have not been deciphered. His cult is attested from Thrace to Moesia and Scythia Minor.

He gained a widespread importance especially after the Roman conquest. After Christianity was adopted, the symbolism of Heros continued as representations of Saint George slaying the dragon.

Miletus (mī lē' təs) (Ancient Greek: Μίλητος, literally transliterated Milētos, Latin Miletus) was an ancient city on the western coast of Anatolia (in what is now Aydin Province, Turkey), near the mouth of the Maeander River in ancient Caria. Evidence of first settlement at the site has been made inaccessible by the rise of sea level and deposition of sediments from the Maeander. The first available evidence is of the Neolithic.
