ZEUS CULT IN AEGEAN THRACE BY EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

In this study, the cults of Zeus and its interaction between the regions was investigated in the Aegean Thrace by using the epigraphic evidences. These inscriptions were found in Abdera, Stryme, Maroneia and Ainos which were important coastal settlements and in Agiasma and Pesoule-Maksimianoupolis which were land settlements of  the region. Zeus was worshiped alone or combined with another deity -Athena, Dionysos, King Philippos, Maron and goddess Rome- between the 2nd half of the 5th century BC. and the 4th century AD. Orios, Eleutherios, Zbelthiourdos, Pesoulenos and Hypsistos are epithets of Zeus used in the region.
