Karataş

Karataş (Greek: Μεγαρσος, Mègarsus) is a small city and a district in Adana Province, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 47 km from the city of Adana, between the rivers of Seyhan and Ceyhan, the Pyramos of Antiquity. The city of Karataş has a population of 8,483 (in 2010), with another 13,000 living in surrounding villages.
==History==
The area has been inhabited from at least Hittite times and probably earlier. It was later part of the Assyrian province of Quwê (Que). By the time of the Greeks, who knew the city as ''Megarsos/Magarso'', there was a port here at the mouth of the navigable Pyramos, supplying an important military and trading route into the plain of Cilicia, and also providing access to the sea for the river towns, like Mallus. In 333 BCE, just before the battle of Issus, Alexander the Great sacrificed here at a temple that, by ''interpretatio graeca'', he took to be of Athena; the "Athena of Magarsos" who appears on Hellenistic coins has been diagnosed, from her pose and the attributes that surround her, to have Mesopotamian connections.〔Arthur Houghton, "The Seleucid mint of Mallus and the cult figure of Athena Magarsia", inA, Houghton, S. Hester ''et al.'' (eds.) ''Festschrift für /Studies in Honour of Leo Miildenburg''1984 :99-110. 1984:99-110, noted by Fox 2008.〕 Robin Lane Fox〔Fox, ''Travelling Heroes in the Epic Age of Homer'', 2008:82f.〕 recognizes the origin of the cult site in the victories of Sennacherib, who instituted the shrine in 696 BCE following a sea battle with Greeks off the mouth of the river;〔The monument to his land victory, Robin Lane Fox observes, was at Anchiale,〕 he dedicated it to his martial goddess, Anat, or Ishtar.
The Romans rendered Magarsos as ''Megarsus''. The port was later conquered by the Arab armies during the growth of Islam and then by the Ottomans in 1517.
Karataş was occupied by French troops during World War I.
