The cult of Men in Lydia
View through CrossRef
The inscriptions concerning the god Men have been gathered by E.N. Lane which also offered a commentary. Since the 1970s, many documents have been discovered and several articles and summaries have been published. This paper proposes to make a focus on our current knowledge about the cult of Men in Lydia and its peculiarities. The publication in 2016 of a Lydian coin showing, on the reverse, a crescent with a legend including the name of a Lydian Moon God (SNG Yavuz Tatış), asks questions about the origin and the diffusion of the cult of Men in this region.
