Geta, 209 - c. 26 December 211 A.D., Mylasa, Caria
|Mylasa|, |Geta,| |209| |-| |c.| |26| |December| |211| |A.D.,| |Mylasa,| |Caria|, The origin of the cult of the god of the double axe goes back to the worship of Tarhunt, the Hittite god of Heaven. The earliest evidence for the cult of Zeus Labraundos dates to the middle of the 7th century B.C. The cult statue of Zeus Labraundos was, according to a surviving inscription, a gift bestowed by Hecatomnus, the founder of the Hekatomnid dynasty of Karian satraps. This statue was a standing Zeus with a tall lotus-tipped scepter upright in his left hand and a double-headed axe, the labrys, over his right shoulder.
