Di quest’ultimo lo stesso Eraclito – ricorda il Geografo – una volta aveva tessuto l’elogio in modo indiretto e, come di consueto, strava- gante: gli Efesii, dai giovani in su, dovrebbero impiccarsi per aver mandato via Ermodoro, il loro uomo più utile, dicendo “nessuno di noi sia il più 1 utile; diversamente, lo sia altrove e in mezzo ad altri” . Del rapporto che era corso fra l’accigliato filosofo e il più utile cittadino di Efeso – evidentemente un legislatore malvisto in patria, pur se riconosciuto capace, per le sue doti filantropiche, di imporsi altrove e fra altri – erano al corrente nell’ultimo secolo della repubblica anche gli ambienti politici romani, ai quali ne sarà giunta notizia attraverso canali di diffusione non molto dissimili da quelli di cui ha fruito Strabone. Cicerone, infatti, nelle Tusculanae disputationes, reca in latino lo stesso rimprovero di Eraclito ai propri concittadini2, senza preoccuparsi di confermare che Ermodoro era un suo contemporaneo. Tuttavia il fatto pare indiscutibile3: l’Arpinate, fra 1 ”Andrej d' ¢xiÒlogoi gegÒnasin ™n aÙtÍ tîn mn palaiîn `Hr£kleitÒj te Ð skoteinÕj kaloÚmenoj kaˆ `ErmÒdwroj, perˆ oá Ð aÙtÕj oátÒj fhsin: ¥xion 'Efes…oij ¹bhdÕn ¢p£gxasqai, o†tinej `ErmÒdwron ¥ndra ˜wutîn Ñn»<ston

Some Thoughts on the History of North-Western Lycia in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages Summary: The present article contains observations on the invasion of Lycia by the Hittite king Tudhaliya IV as described in the Yalburt inscription. The author questions the commonly found identification of the land of VITIS/Wiyanwanda with the city of Oinoanda on account of the problems raised by the reading of the sign VITIS as well as of archaeological and strategical observations. With the aid of Lycian and Greek inscriptions the author argues that the original Wiya- nawanda/Oinoanda was located further south than the city commonly known as Oinoanda situated above İncealiler. These insights lead to a reassessment of the Hittite-Luwian sources concerning the conquest of Lycia.

  • Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia
    CHRISTINA SKELTON Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia The Ancient Greek dialect of Pamphylia shows extensive influence from the nearby Anatolian languages. Evidence from the linguistics of Greek and Anatolian, sociolinguistics, and the histor- ical and archaeological record suggest that this influence is due to Anatolian speakers learning Greek as a second language as adults in such large numbers that aspects of their L2 Greek became fixed as a part of the main Pamphylian dialect. For this linguistic development to occur and persist, Pamphylia must initially have been settled by a small number of Greeks, and remained isolated from the broader Greek-speaking community while prevailing cultural atti- tudes favored a combined Greek-Anatolian culture. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Greek-speaking world of the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. ninth through third centuries BC) was covered by a patchwork of different dialects of Ancient Greek, some of them quite different from the Attic and Ionic familiar to Classicists. Even among these varied dialects, the dialect of Pamphylia, located on the southern coast of Asia Minor, stands out as something unusual. For example, consider the following section from the famous Pamphylian inscription from Sillyon: συ Διϝι̣ α̣ ̣ και hιιαροισι Μανεˉ[ς .]υαν̣ hελε ΣελυW[ι]ιυ̣ ς̣ ̣ [..? hι†ια[ρ]α ϝιλ̣ σιι̣ ọς ̣ υπαρ και ανιιας̣ οσα περ(̣ ι)ι[στα]τυ ̣ Wοικ[. .] The author would like to thank Sally Thomason, Craig Melchert, Leonard Neidorf and the anonymous reviewer for their valuable input, as well as Greg Nagy and everyone at the Center for Hellenic Studies for allowing me to use their library and for their wonderful hospitality during the early stages of pre- paring this manuscript.

    The Late Bronze Age in the West and the Aegean Oxford Handbooks Online The Late Bronze Age in the West and the Aegean Trevor Bryce The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Anatolia: (10,000-323 BCE) Edited by Gregory McMahon and Sharon Steadman Print Publication Date: Sep 2011 Subject: Archaeology, Archaeology of the Near East Online Publication Date: Nov DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195376142.013.0015 2012 Abstract and Keywords This article presents data on western Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age, wherein it was the homeland of a wide range of states and population groups. The most important and most powerful of these was a group of kingdoms that are attested in Hittite texts as the Arzawa Lands. Most scholars associate the development of these kingdoms with Luwian-speaking populations who had occupied large parts of Anatolia from (at least) the early second millennium BCE. The most enduring link between Anatolia's Late Bronze Age civilizations and their first- millennium-BCE successors is provided by the Lukka people, one of the Luwian-speaking population groups of southwestern Anatolia. They were almost certainly among the most important agents for the continuity and spread of Luwian culture in southern Anatolia throughout the first millennium BCE. Keywords: western Anatolia, Arzawa Lands, Lukka people, Luwian culture In this chapter, the phrase “western Anatolia” encompasses the regions extending along Anatolia’s western and southwestern coasts, from the Troad in the north to Lukka in the south, and inland to the regions stretching north and south of the (Classical) Hermus and Maeander Rivers. During the Late Bronze Age, these regions were occupied by an array of states and population groups known to us from numerous references to them in the tablet archives of the Hittite capital Ḫattuša.

  • ON LUWIANS and HITTITES*) Itamar SINGER
    8367_BIOR_05_5-6_01 30-01-2006 09:10 Pagina 412 429 BIBLIOTHECA ORIENTALIS LXII N° 5-6, september-december 2005 430 ON LUWIANS AND HITTITES*) Itamar SINGER (Tel Aviv) “History is written by the victors” is well demonstrated in ancient Anatolia. Most authorities would agree that Luwian was spoken by at least as many people as Hittite, yet books on the Hittites can easily fill up a library, whereas the reviewed monograph is the first to be entirely dedicated to the Luwians (except for dictionaries). Two ponderous cir- cumstances have teamed together to create this dispropor- tional picture, one inherent, the other accidental. For much of their common history the Hittites dominated the Luwian- speaking areas of Anatolia and, as a great power, they left behind extensive archives fitting their stature. The effects of this political disparity are further intensified by the fortu- itousness of discovery. Not a single tablet was found as yet in the vast territories in which Luwian was spoken (as the main language). To be sure, there must be cuneiform tablets buried in the major sites of western Anatolia, since letters sent from there have been found in Hattusa.1) Ironically, even the first Anatolian tablet to be published in the late 19th cen- tury was sent from the Land of Arzawa in the heart of Luwian-speaking Anatolia. But then, this letter, which was discovered in 1887 at Tell el-Amarna in Egypt, was written *)MELCHERT, H. C. (ed.) The Luwians. HdO 1-68. E.J. Brill Publish- ers, Leiden, 2003. (24 cm, XX, 383).

  • The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages
    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 4 The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages 4.1 Introduction The following survey of Christian inscriptions from Lycaonia and the adjacent region around Isaura and the lake region of eastern Pisidia forms the backbone of this study on the rise of early Christianity in Lycaonia. In each subsection of this chapter evidence attesting the presence of Christians in the cities and vil- lages of Lycaonia and adjacent areas is discussed and indicated on the accom- panying maps.1 In the selection of the material the authors decided to quote the full text of inscriptions that cannot with certainty be identified as Christian only by exception. Some of these inscriptions might well be Christian too. The documentation of “The Expansion of the Christian Religion” into Pisidia, Lycaonia and Isauria by Harnack in his Mission und Ausbreitung des Christentums includes only a few inscriptions and does not go beyond to AD 325.2 We expand his brief geographically orientated list of locations in which Christianity set foot into a full presentation of the available evidence. This survey shows how habitable space in Lycaonia and adjacent areas gradu- ally became Christianised. By the 5th century the church gained control over a vast area through the mechanism of bishops ruling the cities and their ter- ritories. The survey is organised around the major cities and their regions, starting with a brief description of the location and overviews of the ancient testimonies to Christianity referring to the city or its territory. Apart from the Lycaonian locations of Paul’s mission mentioned (Iconium, Lystra and Derbe) or implied (Laodicea Combusta) in the Acts of the Apostles, which “cities” or villages should be included under “Lycaonian and adjacent areas”?3 For Strabo the easternmost town of Lycaonia was Coropassus, a fortified outpost (φρούριον).

  • Historical Geography of Lykaonia Region Asuman Baldiran, Erdener Pehlivan
    World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Vol:9, No:3, 2015 Historical Geography of Lykaonia Region Asuman Baldiran, Erdener Pehlivan Abstract—In this study, the root of the name Lykaonia and the geographical area defined as Lykaonia Region are mentioned. In this context, information concerning the settlements of Paleolithic Age, Neolithic Age and Chalcolithic Age are given place. Particularly the settlements belonging to Classical Age are localized and brief information about the history of these settlements is provided. In the light of this information, roads of Antique period in the region are evaluated. Keywords—Ancient Cities, Central Anatolia, Historical Geography, Lykaonia Region. I. INTRODUCTION N Hittite texts, the overall region of Central Anatolia is I called “Luviya”. Hittites divided Anatolia into different geographical regions. It is considered the name “Lukkuwaniya” used for Central Anatolia transformed into Lykaonia in process of time [1], [2]. In the region, following the archeological researches carried byy Solecki, Farrand, Kokten and French, areas which provide Fig. 1 Paleolithic settlements in the region Lykaonia Paleolithic materials has been determined and the main ones of these areas are as such: Kurtunini Cave in the west of Lake Sugla [3]. This cave is an important place in terms of providing the Paleolithic material. Another residence is Pinarbasi Cave which is within the boundaries of Adakale Village in Karaman and which is located near Hotamis Lake spring [3]. This cave is also an important localization providing Paleolithic materials. Tursunlu which is within the booundaries of Aksehir District in Konya city and which provides singular findings is an important localization [4].

  • What Happened to the Galatian Christians? Paul's Legacy in Southern Galatia
    Acta Theologica 2014 Suppl 19: 1-17 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v33i2S.1 ISSN 1015-8758 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> Cilliers Breytenbach WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GALATIAN CHRISTIANS? PAUL’S LEGACY IN SOUTHERN GALATIA ABSTRACT Paul’s Letter to the Galatians points to the influence of his missionary attempts in Galatia. By reconstructing the missionary journeys of Paul and his company in Asia Minor the author argues once again for the south Galatian hypothesis, according to which the apostle travelled through the south of the province of Galatia, i.e. southern Pisidia and Lycaonia, and never entered the region of Galatia proper in the north of the province. Supporting material comes from the epigraphic evidence of the apostle’s name in the first four centuries. Nowhere else in the world of early Christianity the name Παῦλος was used with such a high frequency as in those regions where the apostle founded the first congregations in the south of the province Galatia and in the Phrygian-Galatian borderland. 1. INTRODUCTION Even though Barnabas and Paul were sent by the church of Antioch on the Orontes to the province Syria-Cilicia to spread the gospel on Cyprus and they then went to Asia Minor,1 it was only Paul who revisited Lycaonia (cf. Acts 16:1-5; 18:23). The epigraphical material referred to here, will illustrate that more than anyone else, Paul left his mark on Lycaonian Christianity.2 From the scant evidence available, it is clear that the Pauline letters and 1 Cf.
