Anotations

Scope note:

Beliefs and practices of the ancient peoples and civilizations of what is now Turkey and Armenia, including the Hittites, Hattians, Luwians, Hurrians, Assyrian colonists, Urartians, and Phrygians. Until comparatively recent times, the pre-Christian religions of Anatolia (Asia Minor) were known only through the works of classical writers. For the Greeks and Romans, Asia Minor was above all the home of the religion of Cybele, the Great Mother of the Gods, whose cult was centred in Phrygian Pessinus.
