Understanding the genital diseases of Ancient Anatolia in the light of the inscribed male genital offerings presented to gods
Öz: In the ancient Greek and Roman world, many gods and goddesses were considered to possess healing powers, and there were their temples where they could heal those who prayed. For that reason, in the ancienttimes, people were going to healing temples of various gods and goddesses to recover from their illnessesor grievous injuries. Sick individuals at the temples were offering some written or unwritten votive reliefsindicating their illnesses, to the gods or goddesses to ask for healing or to express gratitude after finding acure. Among these, votive stones containing written expressions and reliefs expressing the owner's healthproblem held an important position. In the research on this antiquity, four inscribed votives that had a malegenital organ depicted on them and that were dedicated to Anatolian gods Theos Hypsistos and Sozon, andgoddesses Phileis and Ollie, were found. In this article, we aimed to study the inscribed offerings that arestill on display in museums and private collections discovered during the excavations in Anatolia hostingthe ancient Greek and Roman civilizations simultaneously and their possible relations with the urogenitalillnesses.
