Aphrodisias Day Tour Description
Aphrodisias
is unquestionably one of the most impressing ancient
cities of Anatolia with its well-preserved buildings and
numbers of magnificent sculptures from the Roman period.
Being built near a marble quarry, the city was also an
important center in the past with its famous sculpture
school and for being one of the several cities that was
dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
The city was named after Aphrodite in the second century
BC. but according to the Suda, before being known as
Aphrodisias, it had three previous names: Lelegon Polis,
Megale Polis and Ninoë, a name derived from Ninos. Ninos
was the mythical founder for the Assyro-Babylonian
Empire and the husband of the famous Semiramis. The city
was later renamed as Stauropolis in the Cristian Era.
Aphrodisias was not the city of famous sculptures only,
but it was also a hometown for renowned scholars and
philosophers. The philosopher Xenocrates, who had been a
student of Plato, is believed to live in Aphrodisias.
