About this document

Attis: Myth and Ritual Exploration by Anonymous 77zvHWs is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the origins and early development of the myth and ritual of Attis. It examines the figure of Attis in Lydian and Phrygian traditions, tracing the development of the myth from its earliest mentions in Herodotus through its arrival in Greece and Rome. The author argues that the story of Atys in Herodotus, traditionally linked to Attis, actually has no connection to the Phrygian god and reflects older Lydian traditions instead.
