Mount Aqraa : ウィキペディア英語版
Jebel Aqra

Jebel Aqra, properly Jebel al-ʾAqraʿ ((アラビア語:جبل الأقرع), (:ˈd͡ʒæbæl al ˈʔaqraʕ); (トルコ語:Cebel-i Akra)), is a limestone mountain located on the Syrian–Turkish border near the mouth of the Orontes River on the Mediterranean Sea. Its Turkish side is also known as Mount Kel ('). Rising from a narrow coastal plain, Jebel Aqra is a mariners' landmark which gathers thunderstorms.
The cult site is still represented by a huge mound of ashes and debris, wide and deep, of which only the first have been excavated. The researchers only reached as far as the Hellenistic strata before the site was closed, as it lays in a Turkish military zone on its border with Syria.
==History==

Jebel Aqra has a long history as a sacred mountain.
The Hurrians called it and considered it the home of their storm god Teshub. The Hittites continued his worship, celebrating Teshub's victory over the sea in the Song of Kumarbi found in their capital Hattusa. They also celebrated the mountain in its own right, naming it as a divine guarantor on their treaties and observing rites in its honor.
The ancient port of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra) lies to its south. Texts discovered there in the 1920s, including the Baal Cycle, showed its residents considered the peak of (Akkadian, Ugaritic, & Phoenician: ''Ṣapānu'') to house the lapis and silver palace of their storm god Baʿal ( "The Lord") and his sister ʿAnat. Baʿal is now often identified with Hadad and his variations understood as local cults. The form Baʿal Zephon was worshipped widely: his temple at Ugarit held a sandstone relief dedicated to him by a royal scribe in Egypt and the king of Tyre called on him as a divine witness on a treaty with the emperor of Assyria in 677 .
It appears in the Hebrew Scriptures as ((ヘブライ語:צפון)). In Canaanite religion, Mt Sapan was sometimes accounted as the home of all the gods, not only Baʿal and his sister. As Mt Zaphon, it appears in that role in the Hebrew Scriptures' Book of Isaiah.〔.〕 From its importance and its position at the northern end of Canaan, it also became a metonym〔.〕〔.〕〔.〕 and then the word for the direction "north" in the Hebrew language.
Under various forms, worship continued through antiquity, when it was called (, ''Kasios''; (ラテン語:Casius Mons); (アルメニア語:Կասիոս Լեռ), ''Gassios Ler'') and lay north of Posideium (modern Ras al-Bassit). Even closer, the earliest Hellenic foothold in the Levant lies at the beach on its northern flank at Al Mina. Here Euboeans and Cypriotes experienced some of their earliest on-site experience of northwest Semitic cultures, from the early eighth century BCE onwards. "The Hittite name persisted in neo-Hittite culture into the ninth century BC and so when Greeks settled on the north side of Mount Hazzi they continued to call its main peak 'Mount Kasios'", Lane Fox points out, observing that it was the Mount Olympus of the Near East.〔Lane Fox 2009:246; these cultural connections are the them of Lane Fox's book.〕
The cult of the god of the mountain was transferred, by ''interpretatio graeca'', to Zeus Kasios, the "Zeus of Mount Kasios", similar to Ras Kouroun in the Sinai. Tiles from the Greco-Roman sanctuary at the site, stamped with the god's name, were reused in the Christian monastery that came to occupy the eastern, landward slopes of Kazios.〔Lane Fox 2009:246, noting H. Seyrig in W. Djobadze, ''Archaeological Investigations in the Region West of Antioch and the Orontes'', 1986.〕
When kings and emperors climbed Mount Kasios to sacrifice at its peak sanctuary, it was a notable cultural occasion. Seleucus I Nicator sought there the advice of Zeus in locating his foundation, a Seleuceia (one of many) on the coast. Coins struck there as late as the first century BCE still show the city's emblem, the thunderbolt, sometimes placed upon the cushion of a throne. In the winter of 114/15 CE Trajan was spared in a major earthquake that struck Antioch; commemorative coins were struck featuring the shrine of Zeus Kasios, with its pointed roof on pillars, and a representation of its rounded sacred stone, or ''betyl''.〔Lane Fox 2009:248f.〕 Trajan's adoptive son Hadrian accompanied him; he returned in 130 CE to scale the mountain at night, no doubt, Lane Fox remarks, to witness the rising of the sun, visible for several minutes from the peak, while the land below lay still in darkness; it was said later that a thunderbolt at the peak struck the animal he was about to sacrifice. In spring 363 the last pagan emperor, Julian, scaled the mountain, where he had an epiphanic vision of Zeus Kasios, according to his friend and correspondent Libanius.
Greek theophoric names ''Kassiodora'' and ''Kassiodorus'',〔See Cassiodorus, born in Magna Graecia, who bears the name in its Romanized form.〕 equally a "gift of Kasios", recall a vow of one or both parents made to ensure fertile conception.〔Lane Fox 2009:248, notes also ''Kassi-opeia'', whose daughter Andromeda was exposed to a sea-monster further along the coast, at Joppa.〕
Christian hermits were drawn to the mountain; Barlaam challenged its demons by founding a monastery near the treeline on its eastern slopes, and Simeon Stylites the Younger stood for forty years on a pillar near its northern flanks until his death in 592.
