Atargatis

Japanese: アタルガティス(英語表記)Atargatis
Atargatis
The great goddess of ancient Syria. She was associated with fertility and was often depicted as half human and half fish. Her temple at Hierapolis was the largest and most magnificent in Syria, and included a sacred fish pond, where she was worshipped together with her husband, Hadad. After the 3rd century BCE, her cult as the "Syrian goddess" spread throughout the Hellenistic world, including Greece, and even as far as England.

古代シリアの大女神。豊穣を司り,魚およびはとと結びつきが深く,上半身は人間の女,下半身は魚の形に表わされることもあった。ヒエラポリスにあったその神殿は,シリアにおける最も巨大かつ豪華なもので,境内に聖魚の住む池があり,ここではアタルガティスは,夫とみなされたハダドとともに祭られていた。前3世紀以後,「シリアの女神」と通称された彼女の祭祀は,ギリシアをはじめ,ヘレニズム世界の各地に広まり,遠くイングランドまで及んだ。
