2377	ENT_ARA_ATARGATIS	syncretized_with	ENT_APHRODITE	high	Atargatis was routinely identified with Aphrodite in the Hellenistic world. Lucian opens De Dea Syria by explicitly listing the Syrians' identification of "the goddess" with Aphrodite among other Greek identifications. The Delos Atargateion (2nd c. BCE) contains dedications to Atargatis and Aphrodite in both separate and combined forms. Coins from Hierapolis and Palmyra depict Atargatis in iconographic modes borrowed from Aphrodite. This is one of the most extensively documented Greek-Oriental deity syncretisms of the Hellenistic period. Lipiński (2000) p. 598; Lucian §32.	SRC_LUCIAN_DEA_SYRIA	reviewed	PER_ARA_IRON_AGE
