Ascalon

[edit]

The article contradicts itself. Early on it says "However, there is no evidence that Atargatis was worshipped at Ascalon, and all iconographic evidence shows her as anthropomorphic." Later, "At her temples at Ascalon, Hierapolis Bambyce, and Edessa, there were fish ponds containing fish only her priests might touch." Why would she have a temple at Ascalon if she were not worshipped there? Also, Ctesias's "History of Persia" says "she threw herself into the lake and was changed as to the form of her body into a fish". This lake was specified as being in Ascalon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5B0:295B:6E18:B4CE:B8E6:8EA5:F5E9 (talk) 03:12, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to bring up the same issue. The article is confusing and contradictory Himeaimichu (talk) 23:01, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
