Constable & Co., Ltd., 1904
In On the Syrian Goddess (De Dea Syria), Lucian of Samosata
presents an eyewitness account of the worship of Atargatis at the
Sacred City of Hierapolis in Northern Syria. The subject of much
scholarly debate over its authorship and authenticity, this text
may be a lampoon of Eastern religion by one of antiquity's great
satirists. On the other hand, if it is authentic, it offers a rare
glimpse into the little-understood world of ancient goddess
worship. Describing a cult considered ancient and mysterious even
in his own time, Lucian presents scenes of orgiastic luxury, gilded
temples, bizarre divination, sacred animals, phallic worship,
transvestite priests, violent self-castration, and many other
oddities that are sure to fascinate any reader. This volume
presents Lucian's Greek text, as edited by A. M. Harmon, with a
parallel English translation by Herbert Strong on facing pages.
This format will be useful to those wishing to read the English
translation while looking at the Greek version, or vice versa. Also
included are a biography of Lucian by Strong, as well as a thorough
introduction and extensive footnotes by John Garstang.

This important summary of Garstang's travels and studies in
Anatolia (present-day Turkey) is fully illustrated with nearly 100
photographs as well as maps and plans. This account details the
marvels revealed by archaeology in ancient western Asia. The study
begins with documentation of the geography of the region, giving
the reader a sense of the world as seen by the Hittites of
antiquity. Garstang outlines the history of the Hittite period
before detailing the monumental architecture of this people.
Garstang's treatment concludes with a substantial history of the
Hittites, people referred to in the Bible and in the historical
records of other ancient Near Eastern civilizations.
