Its summit towers over the modern city of Manisa as well as over the road between İzmir and Manisa. The contiguous mass of Mount Yamanlar, also overlooking the Gulf of İzmir, has often been considered as an extension of Mount Sipylus massif with which it shares much history, although it is actually an extinct volcano and a distinct geographical formation. HistoryThe Manisa relief, a full faced statue carved into a cliff face is found near Mount Sipylus, several kilometers east of Manisa. It is traditionally identified as Cybele and dated to the late-Hittite or Luwian period in late second millennium BCE. The sculpture is known as Taş Suret in Turkish (meaning "Stone Figure") and sometimes referred to as such also in international literature. The mountain was considered a favorite haunt of the mother goddess. According to an old myth the sculpture was carved by Broteas, Tantalus' ugly son. According to the Byzantine commentator John the Lydian, the unknown author of the 7th century BCE epic poem, the Titanomachy, placed the birth of Zeus, not in Crete, but in Lydia, which should signify Mount Sipylus. The names "Sipylus" or "Sipylum" are mentioned by Pliny the Elder, supported by other sources, as the site of a very celebrated city called "Tantalis" [1] or "the city of Tantalus", by the name of its cited founder. Presumably located on or very near the mountain, the city's ruins were reportedly still visible around in the beginning of the Common Era.[2] The same Tantalus is famed through Greek mythology by the accounts relating that he had cut up his son Pelops and served him up as food for the gods. His son Pelops is said to have migrated later to the Peloponnese, named after him, and to have founded a kingdom. Tantalus' daughter was the tragic Niobe, who is associated with the "Weeping Rock" (Ağlayan Kaya in Turkish), a natural formation facing the city of Manisa. Later in ancient times, Mount Sipylus, located in Lydia, ({{lang-grc|Σίπυλος}}), rose above the site of Magnesia ad Sipylum (the southern portion of modern Manisa), whose existence is traced back as far as the 5th century BCE. Magnesia was located along the Hermus River (Gediz River) on the plain below and was the scene of the defeat of Antiochus III "the Great" by the Romans, at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BCE. Smyrna lay nearby. Spil todayEspecially since the 1960s when an importation reforestation effort was made covering thousands of hectares on and around the mountain,[3] Spil Dağı National Park attracts today both tourists and locals. The famous "Weeping Rock" is still widely visited. The mountain as a whole presents an area of dense forests and is known for its wild tulips. The mountain is also a common spot for camping, parachuting, hiking and other mountain sports.{{fact|date=January 2019}} The motorway connecting the two busy metropolitan centers that are İzmir and Manisa crosses between the two neighboring masses of Mount Sipylus and Mount Yamanlar, through Sabuncubeli Pass, much described by ancient travellers and writers and which descends from an altitude of 600 m to sea-level over a rather short distance in kilometers. The highest point of the pass corresponds to a point very near the boundary between İzmir Province and Manisa Province. To bypass the steep and twisted Sabuncubeli Pass, the Sabuncubeli Tunnel is under construction. The {{convert|6480|m|ft|}}-long tunnel is expected to be opened end 2016.[4][5] Footnotes1. ^{{cite book | title = History Of Art In Phrygia, Lydia, Caria And Lycia p. 62 {{ISBN|978-1-4067-0883-7}}|author= George Perrot|publisher=Marton Press|year= 2007|language= French, English}} 2. ^{{cite book | title = Pausanias, and other Greek sketches, later retitled Pausanias's Description of Greece {{ISBN|1-4286-4922-0}}, {{ISBN|978-1-4286-4922-4}}|author= James George Frazer|publisher=Kessinger Publishing Company|year= 1900-1913-1965}} 3. ^{{cite book | title = A survey of Sardis and the major monuments outside the city walls, p. 171, 978-0674857513 | author= George Maxim Anossov Hanfmann - Jane C.
