In its upper reaches, the Lykos is a turbu­ lent mountain stream, but for the last forty to fifty kilometres before the conflu­ ence, its waters flow slowly along its wide, shallow river bed meandering through the Phanaroia. The Iris (mod. Ye�ihrmak) follows a much longer and more circuitous route. At first, its waters flow from east to west on a course more or less parallel to that of the Lykos, which at this point is less than fifteen kilometres distant. The river then diverges towards the south-west, threading its way between the mountains of the Lithros massif to reach the plain of Amaseia (mod. Amasya) where it is joined by the Skylax (mod. yekerek). Having passed the city of Amaseia it turns east, tracking a second course through the mountains, and returns to the Phanaroia where it finally meets the Lykos. Immediately after their confluence, the waters enter a narrow gorge leading through the Pontic Alps and into the plain of Themiskyra (mod. <;ar�amba), legendary home of the Amazons,5 before they eventually reach the Black Sea (map fig. 2). To historians of the Hellenistic era, the Iris-Lykos basin is known as the core region of 'Pontos' or 'the Pontic kingdom',6 the tenitory ruled by the Mithradatic dynasty from c. 301 to c. 66 BC. According to STEPHEN MITCHELL, however, 'what we now call the Pontic kingdom never described itself in terms of any geo­ graphical designation or limitation - Lineage, not territory, was the key to the ti­ tle'. 7 The realm of the Mithradatids was a dynastic state held together by the per­ son of the king, his 'ancestral dominion'.8 Not until the Roman period does 'Pon­ tos' emerge as a clearly defined space - or rather, spaces: for the province Pontus created by Pompey after the defeat of Mithradates was soon broken up, and in the centuries that followed, it underwent a succession of territorial redivisions. 2. History and space This raises the question whether it is possible, or indeed meaningful, to write the history of spaces without 'any geographical designation or limitation'. Most stud­ ies of history view the world as composed either of teITitories delimited by politi­ cal borders or of spaces definedby the natural features of the landscape. The founding fathers who established the historical geography of the ancient world as a separate academic discipline - HENRICH KIEPERT,9 WILLIAM M. RAM- 5 Hdt. 4.110; Strab. 12.3.15; ApoU. Rhod. 2.964-1000; BEKKER-NIELSEN & JENSEN 2016, 232-3. 6 E.g., 'noyau central' (REINACH 1890, 9); 'Herzstiick des Landschaft Pontos' (OLSHAUSEN 1980, 903); 'the Pontic heartland' (BOYCE & GRENET 1991, 3:293). 7 MITCHELL2002, 51; see also DAN 2013, 27-8. 8 App. Mithr. 15: 1t6:rprotO\; lipx;T]. 9 It is instructive to compare KIEPERT (1878) to the latest monograph on ancient geography by ROLLER (2015).

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

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.
