Bendis This article discusses about the Thracian goddess. For the writer and cartoonist, see Brian Michael Bendis. 2Artemisa Bendis, molded terracotta figurine (Tanagra ) C. 350 A. C. (Louvre). Bendis was a Thracian goddess of hunting that the ancient Greeks identified with Artemis, and therefore the other two aspects of ancient Minoan Triple Goddess, Hecate and Persephone. She was a huntress, like Artemis, but the accompanying dancing satyrs and maenads without standing in a glass of red FIUR Verona. Rather than the Olympian Artemis, Bendis night was like a goddess, connected with Hecate. His worship was introduced in Attica, whose arrival is often related to the fact that at the time (431 BC) there were good relations between Athens and King Odrysian Sitalces and the possible existence of a Thracian settlement in Piraeus, as the place of worship was established in Munychia, near the shrine of Artemis, ocn divinity which tended to assimilate. It became so popular that in time of Plato (c. 400 BCC.) your festivities were naturalized as an official ceremony in the city-state, called Bendideia. Among the events were nocturnal torch races, mentioned in Plato, The Republic, 328: "Have not you heard there is a torchlight race this evening to honor the goddess horse " "A horse " I said. "It's a novel idea. Carrying torches and will run to others when riding, how are you "" That's the way, "said Polemarchus" "And besides, there will be an evening party will be worth seeing. The "Bendideia" also had starring joint solemn procession of Athenians and Thracians at the sanctuary of the goddess, located in the Bay of Piraeus. A (skyphos) with red figures (at the University of T bingen), about 440-430 BC C., seems to commemorate the arrival of the newly authorized worship Themis sample (represented by the traditional dress artenienses) Bendis and boots, wearing a fox fur coat.A small marble votive stele, c. 350-325 BC C., found in Piraeus in the (British Museum) shows the goddess and her devotees in relief. The image shows that the goddess has been strongly influenced by the Athenian conception of Artemis: Bendis wears a short chiton like Artemis,but with Asian tight sleeves, with an animal skin as Artemis and a spear, but has a Thracian cloak, fastened with a brooch. Dress boots. A terracotta statuette of the fourth century BC C. Louvre (illustration, right) is dressed like and carries a wooden spear " . Thracian Bendis with her cap was about Apollo seated. Red-figure krater shaped by Bendis Painter, ca. 380-370 BC C. Elsewhere in Greece has not found the cult of Bendis. The Athenians, in the same way that other aspects were open in their dealings with the outside, and also acted as enormous disadvantage to the gods. They welcomed many foreign cults, to the point they earned the ridicule of the comic poets.This was especially so in the case of Thracian and Phrygian cults. Plato, for example, mentions the cult of Bendis, and Demosthenes refers to the Phrygian rites when he accuses Aeschines and his mother, her mother for initiation ceremonies and him to attend them and participate in the Bacchic procession and throw the cries of "SSIO Saboia and Hyesan attesa, attesa, attesa Hyesan 'voices that are specific to the worship of sacred Sabazios and Mother. The "Phrygian rites" that concerned Strabo mentioned the cult of Cybele, which was also welcomed in Athens in the fifth century The Athenians could have pursued the cult of Bendis as the Thracian Dionysiac delighted with Kotys mentioned by Aeschylus. The archaic cult figures have been unearthed in Thrace or Bulgaria now tend to identify with Bendis. Modern followers of the Goddess have revived the cult of Bendis.
