Katakekaumene or Catacecaumene (Greek: Κατακεκαυμένη) was a name for a district in Lydia (modern western Turkey), and a union of ten cities in the area, during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
The name means "burnt land"[2][3] or "burnt country",[4] referring to the pitch-black color of the lava[5] and the dormant volcanic belt of Kula,[6] which was first described by Strabo.[7] Strabo reported that a place named Katakekaumene was the site of the mythological battle between Zeus and the giant Typhon.[8]
