Sacred Status of Women in Mesopotamia, Elam and Greece
Message:
Abstract:
In pre-Islamic rituals and religions many goddesses used to be worshiped especially in the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Elam and Greece. A number of gods such as fertility god, grain god, land god, agriculture god, and water god were female. Several temples were built to worship them. However female gods were not very powerful and goddesses received a part of their power from male gods. The goddesses had the minor power and in particular conditions they were defeated by male gods. Indeed the power of male and female gods was affected by men’s desire for superiority. This research has been conducted by survey_ explanation method and tries to examine factors influencing sacred views towards women in ancient civilization of Mesopotamia, Elam and Greece to pay. Although there were also female gods in countries such as Iran and Egypt, many of them were influenced by the Mesopotamian civilization. It seems that woman’s power of birth giving and her early relationship with the emergence of agriculture have been important in view towards woman to be sacred.
