Anacharsis (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a Scythian prince and philosopher of uncertain historicityШаблон:Sfn who lived in the 6th century BC.Шаблон:Sfn
Life
Anacharsis was the brother of the Scythian king Saulius, and both of them were the sons of the previous Scythian king, Gnurus.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Few concrete details are known about the life of the historical Anacharsis. He is known to have travelled to Greece, where he possibly became influenced by Greek culture.Шаблон:Sfn
Anacharsis was later killed by his brother Saulius for having sacrificed to the Scythian ancestral Snake-Legged Goddess at her shrine in the country of HylaeaШаблон:Sfn by performing an orgiastic and shamanistic ritual at night during which he wore images on his dress and played drums.Шаблон:Sfn
The ancient Greek author, Herodotus of Halicarnassus, claimed that Anacharsis had been killed because he had renounced Scythian customs and adopted Greek ones, although this claim was likely invented by Herodotus himself.Шаблон:Sfn The religious rituals practised by Anacharsis instead corresponded more closely to those of the transvestite Anarya priesthood of the Scythians.Шаблон:Sfn
Legacy
An amphora found in the western Шаблон:Transliteration at Pontic Olbia where was located the temple of Apollo Iētros (Шаблон:Lit) recorded the dedication of "paternal honey" to this god by a Scythian named Anaperrēs (Шаблон:Lang), who may have been the son of Anacharsis.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The nephew of Anacharsis, Idanthyrsus, who was the son and successor of Saulius, would later become famous among the Greeks in his own right for having resisted the Persian invasion of Scythia in 513 BC.Шаблон:Sfn
In Graeco-Roman philosophy
Later Graeco-Roman tradition transformed Anacharsis into a legendary figure as a kind of "noble savage" who represented "Barbarian wisdom," due to which the ancient Greeks included him as one of the Seven Sages of Greece.Шаблон:Sfn Consequently, Anarcharsis became a popular figure in Greek literature,Шаблон:Sfn and many legends arose about him, including claims that he had been a friend of Solon.Шаблон:Sfn
The ancient Greek historian, Ephorus of Cyme, later used this image of Anacharsis to create an idealised image of the Scythians.Шаблон:Sfn
Eventually, Anacharsis completely became an ideal "man of nature" or "noble savage" figure in Greek literature, as well as favourite figure of the Cynics, who ascribed to him a 3rd century BC work titled the Шаблон:Transliteration.Шаблон:Sfn
Due to the transformation of Anacharsis into a favourite character of Greek philosophers, nearly all of the ancient writings concerning him are about Greek literature, which makes the information regarding the historical Anacharsis himself difficult to assess.Шаблон:Sfn
