Döküman Önizlemesi
Cybele, the manager and proprietress of plant and animal world who moved away from Anatolia to Rome and Greece in order to defend countries and cities due to her city-protection properties, is an universal mother concept modified in Phrygia, which has roots lying from Paleolithic-Age Venus to Neolithic-, Calcolithic- and Bronze-Age Goddess. Attis is a vegetation God which resembles climate change. His property is also seen in several Gods found in Mesopotamia, Eygpt, Anatolia, Greece and Rome and thus when his origin is studied, many Gods are assessed including but not limited to Dumuzi (Dumu-zid), Tammuz, Baal, Adonis, Osiris, Horos, Telepinu. Common property of these Gods is that they get alive when plants start to grow in spring and that they die together with plants as of summer heat. Moreover, there is also a Goddess associating these Gods who waits, protects, looks for them and make them alive. This goddess may be his mother, lover or his wife. There are also mythos which whispers relation of these Gods and Godesses. Although name of these mythos are different in each population, they are all same regarding their way of communication. Among them, one is thought to belong Phrygians, that reflects love between Attis and Cybele. Origin of the myth in Phyrigia is not known, but we know content of this love and also basis of cult applications performed by castrated priests of Cybele (Gallus) depending on Greek and Roman authors. Content of mentioned cults and mythos is not settled completely yet as Phyrigian scripts are not apprehended completely and also due to shortness of articles found on rock monuments. Getting final form by pioneering and similar myths, Cybele-Attis cult had gained an outstanding significance within Greek and Roman religions, 347 which had first appeared as of B.C. 9th century in Phyrigia, of B.C. 5-4th years in Greece and of 2nd century in Rome (B.C. 204).
