History
A large karstic grotto and cave, known today as Cennet ve Cehennem, which is located about 7km from Corycus in Cilicia. It was described by Mela, Apollodorus, and Strabo and was associated with the Titan Python in Greek mythology. It is not to be confused with the well-known Corycian Cave on mount Parnassos in Greece.
