2010 Lycian Burial Traditions and Art Marble Reliefs from the Kybernis BM’S INTERNATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME - 2010 Lycian Burial Traditions and Art Marble Reliefs from the Kybernis’ Tomb (Harpy Tomb) PRESENTED BY Pinar KUSSEVEN AND Bulent GONULTAS LYCIAN BURIAL TRADITION AND ART The Reason for the Selection of the Object and Theme .Lycians constitute an important part of the Anatolian History. What we have inherited from Lycians as tangible heritage are mostly impressive sculptured tombs. Today the entire landscape of Lycia is covered with their fascinating funerary monuments. Lycian tombs and landscape Rock cut tombs The Selection of the Object and Theme . Lycians tombs give us information not only about their burial traditions but also about their religion and culture. Reliefs found on different kind of Lycian tombs show mythological figures, funerary feast, battles scenes. So, tombs are important elements for analyzing Lycian art. Relief panel from Harpy Tomb Outside Turkey, the British Museum has the largest collection of Lycian Monuments Via Harpy Tomb and other visual aids visitors can focus on a specific theme. INFORMATION NEEDED FOR PLANNING THE EXHIBITION Where is Lycia and Who is Lycians?: Lycia is a region in Anatolia including the south-west Turkey. The Lycians were an ancient people who inhabited the area between the bays of Antalya and Fethiye, mountainous territory. They lived at the juncture of Greek and Near Eastern culture. Map showing Lycia Lycia and major cities Where is Lycia and Who is Lycians? .The Lycians were the indigenous people speaking a language of their own unique alphabet before adopting Greek around the 3rd century B.C. The region came under the control of Persia in 546 B.C until it was conquered by Alexander the Great during 334-333 B.C. .In about 205 B.C, Independent city states formed Lycian Leaque which is considered as first democratic union in history. Xanthos was the capital of the Lycian League. Earliest Research in Lycia and The Discovery of the Lycian tombs The Lycian tombs were discovered in 1838 by Charles Fellows who is the well known British explorer of Lycia. So, Fellows became the person unrevealing the secrets of Lycian cities. And the British Museum became involved for the conservations of the monuments in the Museum.

The tomb is situated in Xanthos that was the capital of Lycian federation. It dates 480- 470 B.C (Classical Period). Except the sculptured marbles, the tomb was built in limestone. It is thought to be sculptured for Kybernis who was the ruler as whose name appears on a coin.

  • 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.

  • And KEEPING up with the PERSIANS Some Reflections on Cultural Links in the Persian Empire
    Working draft, not for distribution without permission of the author 1 ‘MANNERS MAKYTH MAN’ and KEEPING UP WITH THE PERSIANS Some reflections on cultural links in the Persian Empire Christopher Tuplin (University of Liverpool) Revised version: 9 June 2008 The purpose of the meeting (according to the web site) is to explore how ancient peoples expressed their identities by establishing, constructing, or inventing links with other societies that crossed traditional ethnic and geographic lines. These cross-cultural links complicates, undermine, or give nuance to conventional dichotomies such as self/other, Greek/barbarian, and Jew/gentile In the Achaemenid imperial context this offers a fairly wide remit. But it is a remit limited – or distorted – by the evidence. For in this, as in all aspects of Achaemenid history, we face a set of sources that spreads unevenly across the temporal, spatial and analytical space of the empire. For what might count as an unmediated means of access to a specifically Persian viewpoint we are pretty much confined to iconographically decorated monuments and associated royal inscriptions at Behistun, Persepolis and Susa (which are at least, on the face of it, intended to broach ideological topics) and the Persepolis Fortification and Treasury archives (which emphatically are not). This material is not formally or (to a large extent) chronologically commensurate with the voluminous, but unevenly distributed, Greek discourse that provides so much of the narrative of Achaemenid imperial history. Some of it may appear more commensurate with the substantial body of iconographically decorated monuments (most not associated with inscriptions) derived from western Anatolia that provides much of the material in the two papers under discussion.

  • The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales
    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales ERODOTUS never fails to fascinate with his rich and detailed descriptions of the varied peoples and nations H mustered against Greece by Xerxes;1 but one of his most tantalizing details, a brief notice of the existence of an oracle of Ares somewhere in Asia Minor, has received little comment. This is somewhat understandable, as the name of the proprietary people or nation has disappeared in a textual lacuna, and while restoring the name of the lost tribe has ab- sorbed the energies of some commentators, no moderns have commented upon the remarkable and unexpected oracle of Ares itself. As we shall see, more recent epigraphic finds can now be adduced to show that this oracle, far from being the fantastic product of logioi andres, was merely one manifestation of Ares’ unusual cultic prominence in south/southwestern Asia Minor from “Homeric” times to Late Antiquity.

  • Archaeology Among the Ruins: Photography and Antiquity in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Levant
    Podcast transcript Archaeology Among the Ruins: Photography and Antiquity in mid-nineteenth-century Levant The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace Wednesday, 26 November 2014 Dr Amara Thornton, University College London Hello, this is a special Royal Collection Trust podcast on the extraordinary work of photographer Francis Bedford, who accompanied the Prince of Wales on his tour of the Middle East in 1862. In this podcast, Dr Amara Thornton from University College London gives a lecture written by Dr Debbie Challis on Bedford entitled ‘Archaeology Among the Ruins’ to an audience at the Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. Although Bedford’s work fits into a long Western tradition of picturing the Orient, during this period photography was becoming increasingly respected as a science. Dr Thornton will be exploring the effect photography had on the emerging science of archaeology. This is an enhanced podcast so make sure you look at the images when they appear on the screen of your device. [00:49] Dr Amara Thornton: Good afternoon everyone. It’s a pleasure to be here today. During the 19th century, what was understood by the Orient was basically defined by the geographical limits of the Ottoman Empire. British archaeological exploration took place in the Ottoman ruled lands around the Mediterranean. At the height of its power, from the 14th to the 17th centuries, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the edge of modern day Iran in the east across Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Greece and the Balkan states, to Hungary in the west. By the 1860s, part of what is now Greece was independent after the War of Independence in 1829, but the Balkan territories were a part of the Ottoman lands until 1878 and ostensibly most of North Africa, including Egypt, <Footer addr ess> were supplicant states.
