Mount Sipylos2.

Zeus was worshipped at Pergamon under several other appellatives. The water-supply
of the town was a grave matter necessitating repeated changes and improvements to meet
the needs of the growing population (F.Graber Die Wasserleitungen {Pergamon i. 3) Berlin
1913 Beiblatt 88 bird's-eye view of three conduits and aqueduct). P. Aelius Aristeides
[supra p. 127) in an epideictic harangue entitled wavr/yvpiKbs iiri rQ vbari ev Uepya/xqj
describes how all Asia rejoiced with the Pergamenes when a copious flow of pure water
was secured at last, and how he welcomed the good news as a special favour vouchsafed
by Zeus WiayyeXios and Asklepios Swttjp (Aristeid. or. 55 (ii. 708 Dindorf) elvai yap rb

whose cult was probably introduced in the days of Hadrian
the ' Olympian' (id. id. p. 298). H. von Fritze in the Abh. d.
berl. Akad. igio Phil.-hist. Classe Anhang i. 55 f.pl.4, 8 ( = my

coin struck by Hadrian (cp. Overbeck Gr. Kunstmyth. Zeus
p. 163 Munztaf. 2, 23 with eagle beside the right foot of
Zeus). For Zeus Tpoiraws see supra p. 110 n. 9 (add M.

Coins of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, issued at
Pergamon, show Zeus enthroned with Nike on his right hand
and a long sceptre in his left (H. von Fritze loc. cit. p. 55 pi. 4, 12, cp. Mionnet Descr. de
mid. ant. ii. 602 no. 585).

2 It has been maintained, though without sufficient reason, that there was a cult of
Zeus"T7raros on Mt Sipylos (supra p. 876 n. o no. (8)), where Zeus was said to have been
born (Aristeid. or. 11. 270 (i. 440 Dindorf) rd p,ev ovv 7ra\cud pep-vqcrai Kara rrjv irpwrrjv

A remarkable crag on Mt Sipylos is topped by a rock-cut seat known to the ancients
as the ' throne of Pelops' (Paus. 5. 13. 7 IIeXo7ros de ev LnrvXtp pev dpovos ev Kopvcpy toC
