The Sanctuaries and the Cult of Apollo in Southern Pisidia
Abstract
Abstract
The study concentrates on some of the not very well known Apollo sanctuaries in southern Pisidia. The cult practises of Apollo in the region are examined under the three basic topics with selected examples. The open-air sanctuaries are exemplified with settlements like Pednelissos, Melli and Perminus. Two very different types of Pisidian sites, Sagalassos and Arpaliktepe, show the roots and importance of Apollo cult practices in the region. An exceptional example from Melli, "House with the sanctuary," presents the long tradition of the Clarian Oracle around the region. Additionally, the very common existence of the dice and alphabetic oracle inscriptions in the region are examined in their historical context.
