Rantidi revisited: Unveiling the role of the Rantidi sanctuary in the Paphos region of Cyprus
Περίληψη:
This MA dissertation sets out to enhance our understanding of the sanctuary of Rantidi, near today’s Kouklia in southern Cyprus. Due to poor documentation of the excavation there in 1910 and the following excavations, our knowledge of the site is rather little. This runs counter to the fact that here alone, over 10 percent of all published Cypro-syllabic inscriptions were found. A thorough look at all (often short) publications on the site will be taken to bring the available evidence together. The possible deities worshipped at the sanctuary will be looked at: the Cypriot predecessor of Apollo (“the god of Kourion”) and, in all likelihood, the predecessor of Aphrodite (often called “Anassa”). Also, the kind of cult that was happening here will be defined, a fertility cult. Lastly, it will be discussed which role Rantidi could have played in the wider landscape of southern Cyprus.
