Menotyrannus apparently refers to Men, the Phygian moon-god; "Lord of Men" indicates the identification in this period of Attis with the sun, which we see in Julian the Apostate's oration.

Roger Pearse · 05-14-2009, 07:09 AM

More about the galli than Attis, but Juvenal, Satire 2, writes:

No decency of language is there here: no regard for the manners of the table. You will hear all the foul talk and squeaking tones of Cybele; a grey-haired frenzied old man presides over the rites; he is a rare and notable master of the art of gluttony, and should be hired to teach it. But why wait any longer when it were time in Phrygian fashion to lop off the superfluous flesh?

Augustine, City of God, book 6, chapter 7:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Augustine

There are sacred rites of the mother of the gods, in which the beautiful youth Atys, loved by her, and castrated by her through a woman's jealousy, is deplored by men who have suffered the like calamity, whom they call Galli.

Since, then, these things are more unseemly than all scenic abomination, why is it that they strive to separate, as it were, the fabulous fictions of the poet concerning the gods, as, forsooth, pertaining to the theatre, from the civil theology which they wish to belong to the city, as though they were separating from noble and worthy things, things unworthy and base? Wherefore there is more reason to thank the stage-actors, who have spared the eyes of men and have not laid bare by theatrical exhibition all the things which are hid by the walls of the temples.

What good is to be thought of their sacred rites which are concealed in darkness, when those which are brought forth into the light are so detestable? And certainly they themselves have seen what they transact in secret through the agency of mutilated and effeminate men. Yet they have not been able to conceal those same men miserably and vile enervated and corrupted.

Let them persuade whom they can that they transact anything holy through such men, who, they cannot deny, are numbered, and live among their sacred things. We know not what they transact, but we know through whom they transact; for we know what things are transacted on the stage, where never, even in a chorus of harlots, hath one who is mutilated or an effeminate appeared.

And, nevertheless, even these things are acted by vile and infamous characters; for, indeed, they ought not to be acted by men of good character. What, then, are those sacred rites, for the performance of which holiness has chosen such men as not even the obscenity of the stage has admitted?

Roger Pearse · 05-15-2009, 01:07 AM

Someone asked me if there was any evidence of Attis in Antioch. This is a deeply interesting question, because of the references to Lucian.

I thought to look in a database of Greek epigraphy, but I'm not that familiar with what is available. Looking in the PHI database, I was unable to locate any references to Attis (attij), nor indeed to Cybele (kubelh).

Any suggestions, anyone?

This is a deeply interesting question, because of the references to Lucian. I thought to look in a database of Greek epigraphy, but I'm not that familiar with what is available. Looking in the PHI database, I was unable to locate any references to Attis (attij), nor indeed to Cybele (kubelh). Any suggestions, anyone?
