Abstract

Yukarıovacık, located in the surrounding countryside around Cabalian Oinoanda, promises more than an anonymous work of art recently added to the artistic repertoire of Late Roman southwest Anatolia. Its particular importance lies in its content that enables to recognize for the first time the visual peculiarities of Leto, her children, and the Nymphs, and hence provides a direct contribution to our understanding of Lycian religious iconography.

Özet

Kabalis Bölgesi’ndeki Oinoanda kentinin dağlık kırsalında konumlanan Yukarıovacık Kutsal Alanı, Güneybatı Anadolu tasvir repertuarına eklenen yeni bir kaya kabartmasından daha fazlasını vaat etmektedir. Zira anıt, bugüne değin ancak yazılı kaynaklar aracılığıyla tanıdığımız “Leto, çocukları ve Nympheler”den oluşan tanrılar alayını ilk kez tasvir sanatları aracılığıyla tasdik etme fırsatı sağlamakta ve böylece Likya din tarihi üzerine süre giden araştırmalara yeni ve farklı bakış açıları sunmaktadır
