This book provides a detailed insight into the typology, characteristics
and conceptual and iconographic elements of the solar and lunar
divinities of Asia Minor. It has a special focus on native or
indigenised cults. Furthermore, Anatolian divinities are studied not
only in the Roman, but also during the incipient phases of these cults.
The main topics include issues of polymorphism, polyonymy and the
specific cultural adaptations of the Anatolian deities, the world of the
gods, that of mortals and the relations between dedicators and
divinities. The first part studies the origin of the name and of the
divinity, an attempt to determine the area of dessemination, epithets,
attributes, identifications with other gods, myths and the associated
divinities, as well as symbolism and iconographical elements. The second
part features the economic life of the temples, the organisation of the
sacred space, the nature of the priesthood and the categories of
dedicators, association patterns, age and kinship, and the alterations
that occurred during this period in the perception of the divine world
both in the Anatolian area and throughout the Roman empire. In the last
part of the volume the reader can find useful information regarding the
typology of inscriptions used by the author and the means of
communication between the divine world and the terrestrial one.
