| dbo:abstract | Oaxos (altgriechisch Ὄαξος, in lokaler Schreibweise Ϝάξος Waxos, später Axos Ἄξος) war eine antike griechische Stadt in Mittelkreta, die bis in byzantinische Zeit existierte. Die Stadt liegt bis zu einem Kilometer von dem neuzeitlichen Dorf in der Gemeinde Mylopotamos entfernt. Nach Herodot stammt die Mutter des Gründers von Kyrene, Battos I., aus Oaxos. Es sind nur wenige archäologische Reste der Stadt erhalten, darunter zwei Tempel auf der Akropolis und in der Unterstadt. (de) Axus or Axos (Ancient Greek: Ἄξος), also Oaxus or Oaxos (Ὄαξος) and Waxus or Waxos (Ϝάξος), was a city and polis (city-state) of ancient Crete. According to Virgil, it was situated on a river; which, according to Vibius Sequester, gave its name to Axus. According to the Cyrenaean traditions, the Theraean Battus, their founder, was the son of a damsel named Phronimne, the daughter of Etearchus, king of this city. The town must be quite ancient as its name appears in Mycenaean Linear B tablets in the form e-ko-so. It was an inland town and its harbour was at Astale. The site of Axus is located near modern , near Mount Ida. In the 19th century, remains belonging to the so-called Cyclopean walls were found, and in the church a piece of white marble with a sepulchral inscription in the ancient Doric Greek language of the island. On another inscription was a decree of a "common assembly of the Cretans," an instance of the well known Syncretism, as it was called. The coins of Axus present types of Zeus and Apollo, as might be expected in a city situated on the slopes of Mt. Ida, and the foundation of which was, by one of the legends, ascribed to a son of Apollo. The situation answers to one of the etymologies of the name: it was called Axus because the place is precipitous, that word being used by the Cretans in the same sense that the other Greeks assigned to ἀγμός, a crag. (en) Axo era una città dell'antica Grecia ubicata sull'isola di Creta. (it) Oaxo (em latim: Oaxus; em grego: Ὄαξος) foi uma proeminente cidade cretense situada onde hoje é a atual vila de Axos que floresceu do período minoico recente/período geométrico até o período bizantino. Cacos, vasos de pedra, inscrições e muitas figurinhas de mulheres nuas, todos do período minoico, foram identificados em escavações realizadas em 1899 pela Escola Arqueológica Italiana. Ao longo da história a cidade de Oaxo foi mencionada por famosos autores clássicos: Heródoto, Virgílio, Cícero, Estrabão, Apolônio de Rodes, Estêvão Visâncio e Cristóvão Buondelmonti. Segundo Estêvão Visâncio, Oaxo foi lar de Xenião, filho de Acálido, irmã de Minos. Heródoto menciona que a cidade era regida pelo rei Etearo e que esta era uma das mais importantes cidades de Creta, tendo grande papel no comércio marítimo. Na colina acima da vila de Axos está localizada a acrópole de Oaxo, assim como o Ândrio, templo grego dedicado à deusa Afrodite Astarte e o pritaneu da pólis; também foram identificados túmulos. Os escritos antigos identificados em enormes pedras incisas são possivelmente leis. Nos período romano e bizantino a cidade prosperou, tendo se tornado um imponente episcopado, ostentando muitas igrejas. (pt) |
