The Idaean syndrome III°

This third article in the series continues to explore the theme of the "Idaean syndrome" through an in-depth examination of Οσογωλλις, the epiclesis of Zeus at Mylasa. It advances the hypothesis that the latter can be identified with the Greek Agathos daimon. Further sections aim to demonstrate that *-go-/*-ko-, which appears in the Carian epithet, frequently occurs in Anatolian onomastics as an equivalent of the Greek "daimon". Furthermore, its derivative *-kot- is proposed to mean "the one/the place having a daimon", which suggests a reconsideration of the etymology of "Daktylos", the name given to the mythical dwellers of Mount Ida. The document concludes with a discussion of the kōtarchēs of Didyma and the Lydian astrko-/asturko-, which are understood as "daimon of the royal seat".
