Abstract

Contribution to the online database of the project ERC Advanced Grant MAP 741182: Mapping Ancient Polytheisms.

My work as a guest researcher for the MAP project focuses on the divine landscape of Hellenistic and Roman Lydia. Having collected and analysed the Anatolian testimonies to divine epithets derived from anthroponyms for the workshop My name is your name. Anthroponyms as divine attributes (2-3 June 2021), I now aim to study these attributes in context, within the onomastic landscape to which they belong in the region that has yielded the bulk of their evidence: Lydia. To do so, I will introduced the Lydian onomastic sequences in the BBD MAP and establish the divine cartography of this territory in order to determine, then, how the deities with anthroponymic attributes are integrated within local pantheonic configurations and what are the specificities of their cults.
