Cybele, the earth goddess of Phrygian mythology (Ephesus Museum, Selçuk, Turkey). She became known to the Greeks as Artemis, virgin goddess of the hunt and the moon, and to the Romans as Diana.

Hot springs at Pamukkale (ancient Hierapolis), southwestern Turkey. First established during the 2nd century BC and once the capital of Phrygia, Hierapolis lies along the Coruh River, a tributary of the Menderes. The hot, calcite-laden springs, used for their medicinal properties today as well as in ancient times, have deposited masses of white travertine and given the city its modern name, Pamukkale (‘cotton palace’ in Turkish). The city is now a UNESCO world heritage site.
