ZEUS CULT IN AEGEAN THRACE BY EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

Abstract

In this study, the
cults of Zeus and its interaction between the regions was investigated in the
Aegean Thrace by using the epigraphic evidences. These
inscriptions were found in Abdera, Stryme, Maroneia and Ainos which were
important coastal settlements and in Agiasma and Pesoule-Maksimianoupolis which
were land settlements of  the
region.
Zeus was worshiped alone or combined with another deity
-Athena, Dionysos, King Philippos, Maron and goddess Rome- between
the 2nd half of the 5th century BC. and the 4th century AD. Orios, Eleutherios, Zbelthiourdos, Pesoulenos
and Hypsistos are epithets of
Zeus used in the region.
