File:Isparta Museum Men A Local God 2810.jpg
Men (Greek: Μήν, Latin: Mensis, also known at Antioch in Pisidia/Yalvaç as ‘Men Ascaënus’) was a god worshipped in the western interior parts of Anatolia. Ancient writers describe Men as a local god of the Phrygians, protector of the weak and the poor, and source of health and good fortune. As lunar symbolism dominates his iconography, he is mostly characterised as a ‘moon god’.
Men had his main sanctuary on top of a 1600m high mountain near Antioch in Pisidia (nowadays Yalvaç, 105 km northeast of Isparta), where its remains – called ‘Gemen Korusu’ in Turkish - can still be visited.
