There are twoCatilli inRoman legend:
Catillus the Arcadian and his sons Catillus, Coras, and Tiburtus escaped the mass killing atThebes and arrived at theAniene Plateau. They drove away theSicilians who lived there and founded a city namedTibur (now Tivoli) in honor of Tiburtus.
In Book VII ofVirgil'sAeneid, the twin brothers, Catillus and Coras, leaveTibur and head forLatium to fight againstAeneas and theTrojans as an ally ofTurnus.
Horace (Odes 18.2) records the name as "Cātilus"; Virgil (Aeneid 7.672) andSilius Italicus as "Cātillus", andStatius as "Catillus".[1] There was amons Catilli in Tibur, presumably the modern Monte Catillo.[1]
