| description | The Greek hero Amphilochos, the mythical descendant of the family of the Melampodides prophets, was, like his father Amphiaraos, a recognized soothsayer and a soldier with formidable military skills. After taking part in the second expedition against Thebes and the Trojan War, he is said to have wandered in many a land and founded several cities lying between Spain and Syria. Soon after his sudden death in a single combat with another seer named Mopsos, he was elevated to the rank of oracular divinity in Mallos of Cilicia, a city which he himself founded. During the Roman period, Amphilochos got into high repute in this region where he gave oracles to the pilgrims who came and visited him by themselves in his temple. In this paper, we attempt to determine the terms of this oracular revelation in the sanctuary of Mallos of Cilicia, in spite of little compelling evidence. |
