Celtic cleanup project
[edit]Be suspicious of Celtic religion articles contributed by User:TUF-KAT in mid-September 2002. I think he closely followed www,gallica.co.uk, a site with plenty of useful stuff, but their section on 'gods' is mostly patent nonsense.
(Use subst {{tl}} from now on.)
Orphaned articles that probably deserve parents
[edit]In need of cleanup
[edit]- Áine
- Danu (Irish goddess)
Erecura- Maponos
- Mogons – very seriously GeoffMGleadalled
Toutatis (horrible! horrible! multiple blatant falsehoods, also repeated on the page of the corresponding asteroid)- Veteris
In desire of maps
[edit]Create-worthy

Gods of Nemrud
[edit]- Smith, R. R. R. (2012). Gods of Nemrud: The Royal Sanctuary of Antiochos I & the Kingdom of Commagene. Photographs by Ahmet Ertuğ. Ertuğ & Kocabıyık. ISBN 978-0-9548077-4-0.
- p10: Commagene under Tigranes' rule from about 90 to 70 BCE
- p10: one of the "compliant client-kingdoms to act as buffers between her [Rome's] own sphere and that of Parthia, the new great power in the East"
- p10: Zeugma and Samosata the kingdom's two Euphrates crossings
- p10: "occupied a strategic liminal position between the Roman and Parthian spheres of power, analogous to that of Armenia to the north and Cilicia and northern Syria to the south"
- p12: "Antiochos' full official title was: Basileus Megas Antiochos Theos Dikaios Epiphanēs Philorhomaios kai Philhellēn – 'Great King Antiochos, God, Just, Manifest, Friend of the Romans and Friend of the Greeks'."
- p12: "he wrote (and surely spoke) in Greek, but by using Philhellēn he showed immediately he did not consider himself actually to be a Greek."
- p13-14: contrast hierothesia or tomb-sanctuaries (viz. Arsameia on the Euphrates = Gerger, Arsameia on the Nymphaios = Arsameia, and Nemrud Dağ) with temenē without tombs
- p14: at Sofraz Köy was "a temenos dedicated to Apollo and Artemis Dictynna"
- p14: four other enthroned gods "are called synthronoi theoi, or 'throne-sharing gods'", viz. (1) himself, (2) Kommagene, (3) Zeus-Oromasdes, (4) Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes, and (5) Artagnes-Herakles-Ares
- p14: Ahura Mazda supreme deity in Zoroastrianism, Mithras and Artagnes "were minor Mazdaean deities, subordinates and aides of Ahura Mazda. They [= presumably all five synthronoi theoi] appear here for the first time in these combinations."
- p14: "Roman Mithraic mysteries are a long way off, and Commagene probably has little to do with them."
- p15: text of the inscriptions published in D. H. Sanders (1996). Nemrud Dağı. The Hierothesion of Antiochos I of Commagene. Results of the American Excavations Directed by Theresa B. Goell. Winona Lake.

: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link) - p16: his kingdom "'the common dwelling place of all the gods'"
- p18: "Antiochos' cult is the very best documented example of a centrally organized Hellenistic royal cult."
- p18: "cult statues, festivals, sacrifices, and meals in honour of the king and gods. The ritual is perhaps a little colourless. There is no mention of hymns, games, competitions, nor of special clothes or wreathes, or exciting taboos for the participants"
- p18: priests must wear Persian dress, though "Some of the main elements of the cult and its ritual as described in the texts are Greek in character"; outdoor worship on a mountain-top, with open-air cult statues, also "local and Iranian elements". But no fire altars, no soma, no good-versus-evil dualism. "In the inscriptions, the cult ideas then are mainly Greek with some eastern overlay. The eastern component emerges more strongly in the images."
- p19: "These syncretic gods probably had no independent life in Commagene (or elsewhere) outside the royal cult – they were explicitly basilikoi daimones, 'royal gods'."
- p19: "Antiochos' monuments are not much like anything earlier, and they are entirely without artistic progeny in this precise manner later."
- p19: "The scale and method of construction are clearly of Pharaonic inspiration."
- p20: combination of five-pointed crown (kitaris or tiara) and clean-shaven look are copied by Antiochus from Tigranes' style; also wears diadem (white cloth band tied around head), tunic, leggings, cloak, skirt, and has sceptre: "probably the contemporary horse-riding costume of the Armenian and Parthian elite"
- p20: in dexiosis images, Artagnes-Herakles "is entirely Herakles" (club, lion skin, etc.)
- p20-21: Kommagene has a modius and cornucopia; Zeus-Oromasdes and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes wear conical "so-called 'Persian' tiara" or Phrygian cap (radiate in dexioseis); Artagnes-Herakles-Ares has a club; bundles of tamarisk twigs born by the three Olympian synthronoi
- p21: "There is no trace of the time-honoured iconography of Mesopotamian or Iranian divine power: no horned, winged, or animal-headed deities, no busts in winged discs."
- p22: carvers perhaps displaced artisans from Seleucid kingdom, now kaput
- p23: "Antiochos could not know that he was not going to found a long and glorious kingdom and a model of Persian-Greek style that would last for centuries. [...] in Antiochos' monuments, a strong blazing light is shone on one of history's many dead-ends and roads not taken."
- p23: "flirted with Parthian allegiance three times – in 69, 64, and 38 BC [sic] – but Lucullus, Pompeius, and Antonius, respectively, put paid to such ambitions."
- p23: no evidence of popular votives at the sanctuaries
- p24: "one of the best-documented case-studies of advanced megalomania in the ancient world"
- p24: Vespasian exiles the royal family in 72 CE
