For a number of years Henri Graillot has been collecting the monuments of
the religion of Cybele with a view to publishing them in their
entirety.--Numerous remarks on the Phrygian religion will be found in the
works and articles of Ramsay, especially in _Cities and Bishoprics of
Phrygia_, 1895, and _Studies in the Eastern Roman Provinces_, 1906.
1. Arrien, fr. 30 (_FGH_, III, p. 592). Cf. our _Studio Pontica_, 1905, pp.
172 ff., and Statius, Achill., II, 345: "Phrygas lucos ... vetitasque solo,
procumbere pinus"; Virg., _Aen., IX_, 85.
2. Lion; cf. S. Reinach, _Mythes, cultes_, I, p. 293. The lion, represented
in Asia Minor at a very remote period as devouring a bull or other animals,
might possibly represent the sacred animal of Lydia or Phrygia vanquishing
the protecting _totem_ of the tribes of Cappadocia or the neighboring
countries (I am using the term _totem_ in its broadest meaning). This at
least is the interpretation given to similar groups in Egypt. Cf. Foucart,
_La methode comparat. et l'histoire des religions_, 1909, p. 49, p. 70.
3. [Greek: Potnia theron]. On this title, cf. Radet, _Revue des etudes
anciennes_, X, 1908, pp. 110 ff. The most ancient type of the goddess, a
winged figure leading lions, is known from monuments dating back to the
period of the Mermnadi (687-546 B. C.).
4. Cf. Ramsay, _Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia_, I, p. 7, p. 94.
5. Foucart, _Le culte de Dionysos en Attique_ (Extract from the _Mem. Acad.
Inscr._, XXXVII), 1904, pp. 22 ff.--The Thracians also seem to have spread,
in Asia Minor, the cult of the "riding god" which existed until the
beginning of the Roman period; cf. Remy, _Le Musee belge_, XI, 1907, pp.
136 ff.
6. Catullus, LXIII. {225}
7. The development of these mysteries has been well expounded by Hepding,
pp. 177 ff. (see Gruppe, _Gr. Myth._, p. 1544).--Ramsay has recently
commented upon inscriptions of Phrygian mystics, united by the knowledge of
certain secret signs ([Greek: tekmor]); cf. _Studies in the Eastern Roman
Provinces_, 1906, pp. 346 ff.
