Attis

Meaning

Attis is invoked beside the Mother of the immortals and Men in Prayer.40. The listing establishes a local association of divine recipients. It does not itself recount Attis’s origin, suffering or cultic history, and those narratives should not be substituted for what the name does in the Prayer.
