The Attis Cult in Asia minor under the epigraphical sources and Archaeological evidences

Attis, who was worshipped in Phrygia together with the mother Goddess, as well as in some parts of Asia Minor, Greece and afterwards across the Roman Empire with the accession of Emperor Claudius to the throne (AD 41-54), was actually a god of vegetation. We determined that the name of Attis used to be a name used for males apart from being used as the name of a god in Phrygia, Lydia and Lykia. The name of Attis was used by various Dynasties in Lydia, but it is supposed to have been used by religious people, by monks in particular, in Lykia, As far as its use in Phrygia is concerned, it was additionally used as a reputation for the bishop of the mother Goddess. It was determined that this name was only used as god name in the remaining parts of Asia Minor. According to one myth of Phrygia origin, the Mother Goddess falls in love with the shepherd Attis who fails to keep to his promise that he will remain faithful to her, as a result of which he punishes himself by castrating himself and eventually dies. Each myth about Attis is celebrated annually between 1 5-281 1 March in such a way that one of the myths is told every single day. We discovered detailed information from Roman resources that still contain many of the elements of Phrygia. Most of the descriptions of Attis appearing in the archaeological documents are in agreement with the myth of Attis narrated by antique resources. In short, the main motives of the myth of Attis, such as being a herdsman, a eunuch, his death, resurrection and dancing, constitute an essential part of Greek and Roman arts.
