They surrounded the palace in the night, and forced their way in. Agathocles and his sister implored in the most abject manner that their lives might be spared, but in vain. The former was killed by his friends, that he might not be exposed to a more cruel fate. Agathoclea with her sisters, and Oenanthe, their mother, who had taken refuge in a temple, were dragged forth, and in a state of nakedness exposed to the fury of the multitude, who literally tore them limb from limb. All their relations and those who had had any share in the murder of Eurydice were likewise put to death.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agathoclea%5D “All of them were then handed over together to the mob, and some began to bite them, others to stab them, others to gouge out their eyes. As soon as any of them fell, the body was torn limb from limb until they had mutilated them all” ~Polybius http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/ptolemy4.htm 205 BC – Roman authors write about showers of stones falling from the sky, terrifying local population; Senate orders a conical meteorite known as the Needle of Cybele, worshiped in Asia Minor, be brought to Rome. 205 BC: The worship of the cult of Magna Mater is introduced to Rome from Phrygia. From Phrygia to Rome In 205 BC, a curious transfer connected two places in the Mediterranean world. In that year, the sacred stone of the cult of the Mother Goddess in Phyrgia (in Anatolia) was fetched by a delegation of Roman ambassadors. They had consulted the Sibylline Books and the oracle of Delphi, and had taken the advice that the Second Punic War against Hannibal would be won if they would bring the Mother Goddess to Rome and let her be welcomed by the virtuous Roman people. The adoption of Magna Mater must have stunned the inhabitants of Rome. All of a sudden, an oriental cult existed in the midst of their city: the temple of the goddess was installed on the Pallatine. In this temple, Phrygian eunuch priests worshiped the goddess with their oriental rituals, robes and music instruments. On the other hand, the cult was highly Romanized, since Roman rituals en festivals like the Megalensia were also installed to honour Magna Mater. |
