It is nice to know that it is unlikely that the Perseus was inspired by a copy of the statue by Myron, I was quite doubtful about that as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I totally agree with you. I think it is controversial because of the text about it in the bible, talking about the &quot;speech of Lycaonia&quot;. I highly doubt this is a separate language. As you indicated, the inscription is Greek, and the people were also very aware of Greek mythology and religion. The &quot;speech of Lycaonia&quot; is probably just a Greek dialect spoken in that region, like many other Greek dialects around the Hellenic world.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER], it indeed is an interesting and quite obscure region.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
