INTRODUCTION
For the scholar of antiquity Asia Minor, also cailed Anatolia, is a fascinating
Region, Civilizations have been born and have flourished here since the Neolithic
Age. Their expansion, resulting fron» migrations and the transfer of cultural values,
Has contributed to the Neolitbization of prehistoric Europe and has had an over-
Whelming impact on the formation of Bronze Age culture in Crete, as weil as the
Mycenaean and Greek world which grew out of it, later determining the cultural
Face of Graeco-Roman antiquity. In the first millennium BC, the greatest accom-

Aegean to reach the Greeks. Asia Minor, which lay on this route, did not just act as

Religion.

Ever since the Neolithic. Beliefs typical of primitive societies, characterized by ani-
Mism, fetishism, totemism and primitive magic, were transformed as a result of these
Processes into a polytheistic religion. Being one of the important regions of Neolithic
Development, Anatolia played a significant role in this process, the origins of which
Can be perceived in the way Neolithic communities grasped the essence of divinity,
Still far distant from the might of the later gods. Social changes were of intrinsic
Importance for the development of this process, as much as the ever strong belief of
Ancient man, deriving from prehistoric magic, in the uniformity and interrelation of
Everything that exists, The question is, however, why man created gods in his own
Image. Mainly because it was a way of taming the incomprehensible and dangerous
In the world around him. Man sought in the gods a partner to negotiate with, ac-
