The Syrian Goddess

Religion og spiritualitet

"The Syrian Goddess" is a seminal work that offers a glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs surrounding the cult of Atargatis, a prominent deity worshipped in ancient Syria. This treatise, attributed to the Greek writer Lucian but often debated among scholars, presents a detailed account of the customs, rituals, and temples dedicated to this goddess. Atargatis, often depicted as a mermaid-like figure, was venerated as the goddess of fertility, love, and war, showcasing the multifaceted nature of ancient Syrian worship. Lucian's narrative dives deep into the sacred rituals, including ecstatic dances, sacred prostitution, and elaborate festivals, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of ancient Syrian religious life. The text serves as an invaluable resource, not just for its insights into the worship of Atargatis but also for its broader reflections on the syncretic nature of religious practices in the ancient Near East.
