ΚΙΝΔΥΗ (Αρχ. Πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Στην Κινδύη υπήρχε το ιερό της Αρτέμιδος Κινδυάδος (Στράβ. 14,2,20).
ΚΝΙΔΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Οι Κνίδιοι είχαν τρία Ιερά της Αφροδίτης: της Δωρίτιδος, της Ακραίας και της Κνιδίας ή Ευπλοίας (Παυσ. 1,1,3).
ΜΥΛΑΣΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
The Mylasians have two temples of Zeus, Zeus Osogo, as he is called, and Zeus Labrandenus. The former is in the city, whereas Labranda is a village far from the city, being situated on the mountain near the pass that leads over from Alabanda to Mylasa. At Labranda there is an ancient shrine and statue of Zeus Stratius. It is honored by the people all about and by the Mylasians; and there is a paved road of almost sixty stadia from the shrine to Mylasa, called the Sacred Way, on which their sacred processions are conducted. The priestly offices are held by the most distinguished of the citizens, always for life. Now these temples belong peculiarly to the city; but there is a third temple, that of the Carian Zeus, which is a common possession of all Carians, and in which, as brothers, both Lydians and Mysians have a share. It is related that Mylasa was a mere village in ancient times, but that it was the native land and royal residence of the Carians of the house of Hecatomnos.
ΣΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
ΑΛΙΚΑΡΝΑΣΣΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Ο Παυσανίας τον αναφέρει ως αξιοθαύμαστο έργο, οι δε ρωμαίοι καθιέρωσαν να λένε μαυσωλεία και τα δικά τους επιφανή ταφικά μνημεία (Παυσ. 8,16,4).
The only detailed descriptions of the Mausoleum are by Vitruvius and Pliny:
Vitruvius 7. Praef. 12-13
Satyrus and Pytheus wrote a book on the Mausoleum. On these men good fortune conferred the greatest and highest tribute. For their works of art are judged to possess merits renowned for all time and unfading for eternity, and from their deliberations were produced works of high distinction. For example, individual artists undertook one side each, competing against each other in embellishing and scrutinizing the work: Leochares, Bryaxis, Scopas, and Praxiteles, while some add Timotheus. The outstanding quality of their art caused the fame of the building to be included among the Seven Wonders of the World.
Pliny, N.H. 36.30-1
The rivals and contemporaries of Scopas were Bryaxis, Timotheus, and Leochares, whom we must discuss together because they all worked on the carvings for the Mausoleum. This was the tomb built by Artemisia for her husband Mausolus, the satrap of Caria, who died in the 2nd year of the 107th Olympiad [351; he actually died in 353]. These artists were chiefly responsible for the work's inclusion among the Seven Wonders of the World. On the North and South sides it extends for 63 feet [actually 120 feet] but the length of the facades is less, giving a total circumference of 440 feet. It rises to a height of 25 cubits [probably the colonnade alone] and is enclosed by 36 columns . . . Scopas carved the east side, Bryaxis the north, Timotheus the south, and Leochares the west, but before they had finished, the queen died [351]. However, they refused to stop working until it was complete, since they had decided that it would be a monument both to their own glory and to that of their art, and even today their rivalry persists. A fifth artist also joined them. For above the colonnade is a pyramid that equals the building's podium in height, tapering in 24 steps to its peak; at the top is a marble chariot-and-four that Pythis made. With this added, the building's total height comes to 140 feet.
The information given in these passages has been endlessly disputed,
though recent excavation has resolved some problems; for a conjectural restoration
of the building and a selection of the sculpture see Stewart 1990, figs. 524-38:
head of Apollo (London 1058), bearded male (London 1054), Persian rider (London
1045), panther (London 1095), Amazon frieze (London 1014), Amazon frieze (London
1020), Carian lady and nobleman (London 1000) (London 1001), lion (London 1075),
horse from the chariot group (London 1002); for earlier attempts, see the sketches
in Pollitt 1990, 197 fig. 7.
As to personalities, Pytheos of Priene (a noted theorist of the Ionic
order) was clearly the building's architect and carved the great four-horsed chariot
that crowned its summit; according to Vitruvius 1.12 and 7 Praef. 12, he later
went on to design the temple of Athena Polias at Priene, which was still under
construction when Alexander passed through in 334.
