Religion and Cultural Conservatism in Lycia: Xanthos and the Letoon Marc Megrelis Ph.D. Thesis School of History, Classics and Archaeology The University of Edinburgh 2013 1 Abstract: In Lycia, Xanthos and its main sanctuary, the Letoon, have throughout centuries kept some very particular features which have survived intense cultural upheavals and influences both Persian and Greeks. The infrastructures and shape of the Letoon indicates that there is more to the sanctuary’s rituals and architecture than normalised Greek divinities and temples. Lycia, following the Persian invasion in the 540s, remained a remote region of the empire and benefited from an autonomous status. Nevertheless the outside contacts and cultural exchanges multiplied and intensified, especially with the Persian ruling class, but also with the Greeks who took an increasing part into the trade and artistic influence of Lycia. The most important city of the region, Xanthos was the focus of the Persian presence in Lycia but also at the spearhead of Hellenic influence in western Lycia. This underlying Greek presence became ever more pregnant under the rule of the last dynasts of Xanthos at the turn of the fourth century and under the rule of the Carian satraps under the power of whom Lycia was put in the 360s. The Hellenistic period only confirm the prior trend. To begin with, we are trying to define how the Persians had an impact on the Lycian culture and conclude that it was a great influential force but stayed somewhat limited to the higher classes of the Xanthian society. The parallel with the Greek influence is contrasting. The arrival of Greek trends was more insidious but also more widespread to the lower classes of society and lasted longer. We will conclude that none of those influences were imposed but rather chosen by the Xanthian society. We will continue by trying to understand how those cultural manifestations affected local religious beliefs. By exposing the successive evolutions of the Letoon and of the divinities residing here, we will see that the syncretic divinities of the Letoon kept a lot of their ancestral attributes and places of worship are keeping track with their sacred past. In this process we are trying to show that religion holds a peculiar place in a nation or a city’s culture. In this attempt we are concluding that religion is the most stable aspect of a local culture and is the recipient for the safeguard of a nation’s identity. I declare that the following work is mine and that I have composed it alone under the supervision of Pr Andrew Erskine and Dr Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones. It does not include any previously submitted works for any other degree. I declare to have followed the guidelines of the University of Edinburgh and of the School of History, Classics and Archaeology for the submission of a PhD thesis. Marc Megrelis 81,634 words 2 Preface: In this thesis the attempt is to do an interdisciplinary comparative study of the culture and religion of Xanthos and to isolate religion as the main factor and recipient of cultural conservatism. From this perspective I use primary and secondary sources as well as evidence from outside Xanthos to parallel evolutions in our Xanthian materials to other sites where studies have already gone further into describing cultural phenomena. In my previous research up to this point, I have been confronted with a number of difficulties mostly related to the lack of decisive materials. I had focused my attention on Cilicia. My Maîtrise dissertation in Paris was a monography on Tarsus and religious evolution was one of the great interests of mine, while my MPhil dissertation in Cambridge was concentrated on the main divinities of Cilicia, Aspera and Tracheia. This region presents a number of interesting situations in which native divinities and local culture were replaced by foreign ones without losing the core substance of what were the native culture and cults, or so I theorised. Unfortunately none of the cases could offer such a wide spectrum of evidence as Xanthos does. Therefore none of my hypotheses were conclusive enough for my liking. Xanthos provides a well-documented case of culture and religion which are ever-changing due to frequent political changes. There the evidence and its analysis is rich and growing thanks to the extensive and yearly excavations. It therefore gives us the opportunity to have better understanding of the phenomena in action in an evolving Anatolian culture in the Classical and Hellenistic periods.The knowledge of the sites has been enhanced by two trips to Xanthos during the length of this PhD and therefore some of the pictures added are mine. I would also like to apologise to the readers of this thesis for the awkwardness of my English. I have been in the UK for the last six years, unfortunately, to add to my inadequacies, most of my readings were in French and I have had difficulties separating the two languages. Despite the numerous advices I have received from my PhD supervisors, Pr. Andrew Erskine and Dr. Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, the readers might still find it arduous to read and I sincerely hope it will not impede my ability to put arguments through. 3 As well as being grateful to Andrew for his constant reminders of my goals, his well- needed advice and his support when the end of the tunnel seemed quite far, I would like to thank again Dr. Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Dr. Sandra Bingham and Dr. Ulf- Dietrich Schoop for their advice and corrections. I would like also to thank Jean- Marie Bertrand whose guidance was well-needed. Without them I would never have been able to finish this thesis. I would like to thank my fellow PhD student John Horton for his corrections. Thank you to all the people who showed me support and understanding, friends or family.

    Georgy Kantor Lycia et Pamphylia: A Social and Institutional History The project which I am proposing to undertake is a social and institutional history of the Roman province of Lycia and Pamphylia, from the process of establishment of Roman rule in the region in the late Republic and the Julio-Claudian period to the coming of Christianity and the separation of the constituent parts of the province in the early fourth century AD. The project aims at utilising different kinds of evidence – documentary, archaeological, numismatic, literary. Several factors combine to make such a study worthwhile. The isolated nature of the region, separated as it is by mountain ranges from the rest of Anatolia, and the fact that, with a very brief interruption, it has been a single administrative unit for more than two centuries, from the principate of Claudius to at least AD 312, allow us to treat it as a meaningful object of regional history. But below this unity there were striking distinctions between its different parts. In the course of my doctoral work on Roman and local law in the provinces of Asia Minor, I have found preliminary evidence to indicate that the ways in which Pamphylia and Lycia were governed by Rome were different in many crucial aspects. My project will thus provide an opportunity to study two models of Roman rule within one province, and it is at this level that we can best understand how Roman imperial structures worked and contribute to the ongoing discussion (re-opened by recent works of S. Dmitriev and C.

Firstly, it will focus on a more precise determination of the geographic limits of the region, which are not clear and quite ambiguous in the ancient sources. Secondly, the author will thoroughly analyze the formation of the province itself and its progressive Romanization. Finally, political organization of Cilicia within the Roman empire in its different forms throughout time will be taken into account. Key words Cilicia, provincia Cilicia, Roman empire, Romanization, client kings 295 STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 · ROME AND THE PROVINCES Quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat (Rut. Nam., De Reditu suo, I, 72) This paper attempts a systematic approach to the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long and characterized by a complicated sequence of historical and political events. The main question is formulated drawing on – though in a different geographic context – the words of G. Alföldy1: can we consider Cilicia a „typical” province of the Roman empire and how can we determine the peculiarities of this province? Moreover, always recalling a point emphasized by G. Alföldy, we have to take into account that, in order to understand the characteristics of a province, it is fundamental to appreciate its level of Romanization and its importance within the empire from the economic, political, military and cultural points of view2.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • Komai in Lykien
    GEPHYRA 1 2004 119-126 Friedrich HILD* KOMAI IN LYKIEN Abstract: Hild presents a comprehensive list of 85 poleis known from the coastal areas and the interior of Lycia. This large number of poleis is countered by far fewer villages (komai) known from literary and epigraphical sources to have existed in the territory (chora) of these cities. The author lists numerous examples of such villages, which were subordinate to the city in whose territory they lay, and provides brief information on the location of many of them. Die antike Kulturlandschaft Lykien war reich gegliedert.1 Einer Reihe von äußerst fruchtbaren Schwemmlandebenen an der Küste (Mündungsdelta des Indos/Dalaman Çay mit der Polis Kalynda, Küstenhof von Telmēssos/Fethiye, Delta des Xanthos Potamos mit Xanthos und Patara, Mündung des Myros Potamos mit Myra, Mündung des Arykandos mit Limyra und Phoinix, Mündung des Alakır Çayı mit Korydalla, Rhodiapolis und Gagai, Mündung des Barsak Çayı bei Tekirova mit Phasēlis, Mündung des Idyros Potamos mit Idyros) standen kleine und kleinste Buchten gegenüber, die ebenfalls als Zentren von Poleis dienten, so An- tiphellos/Kaş, Aperlai (in einer Sympolitie mit Isinda, Apollōnia und Simēna) in Zentrallykien und Kōrykos/Olympos in Ostlykien. Im Hinterland eigneten sich fruchtbare Täler für Stadt- gründungen, so für Tlōs, Pinara und Araxa im Tal des Xanthos Potamos, für Arykanda im Tal des Arykandos und für Akalissos (mit Idebēssos und Korma in einer Sympolitie vereinigt) im Tal des Alakır Çayı. Eingelagert zwischen den beiden großen Gebirgsmassiven des Kragos im Westen und des Masikytos im Osten sind im Quellgebiet des Myros Potamos die großen Becken der Kasaba Ovası mit den Poleis Kandyba und Arneai und die Elmalı Ovası mit den Poleis Podaleia, Chōma und Akarassos.

  • Ptolemaic Foundations in Asia Minor and the Aegean As the Lagids’ Political Tool
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 20 (2013): 57–76 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.13.004.1433 PTOLEMAIC FOUNDATIONS IN ASIA MINOR AND THE AEGEAN AS THE LAGIDS’ POLITICAL TOOL Tomasz Grabowski Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Abstract: The Ptolemaic colonisation in Asia Minor and the Aegean region was a signifi cant tool which served the politics of the dynasty that actively participated in the fi ght for hegemony over the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea basin. In order to specify the role which the settlements founded by the Lagids played in their politics, it is of considerable importance to establish as precise dating of the foundations as possible. It seems legitimate to acknowledge that Ptolemy II possessed a well-thought-out plan, which, apart from the purely strategic aspects of founding new settlements, was also heavily charged with the propaganda issues which were connected with the cult of Arsinoe II. Key words: Ptolemies, foundations, Asia Minor, Aegean. Settlement of new cities was a signifi cant tool used by the Hellenistic kings to achieve various goals: political and economic. The process of colonisation was begun by Alex- ander the Great, who settled several cities which were named Alexandrias after him. The process was successfully continued by the diadochs, and subsequently by the follow- ing rulers of the monarchies which emerged after the demise of Alexander’s state. The new settlements were established not only by the representatives of the most powerful dynasties: the Seleucids, the Ptolemies and the Antigonids, but also by the rulers of the smaller states. The kings of Pergamum of the Attalid dynasty were considerably active in this fi eld, but the rulers of Bithynia, Pontus and Cappadocia were also successful in this process.1 Very few regions of the time remained beyond the colonisation activity of the Hellenistic kings.
