卡里亚

卡-里-亚所在的位置

卡里亚(古希腊语:Καρία)安纳托利亚历史上的一个地区,在今土耳其境内。

卡里亚位于伊奥尼亚以南,弗里吉亚和吕基亚以西。希腊人把当地的原住民称为“卡里亚人”。远在希腊人到达之前,与“卡里亚”这个名字相当的地名可能就已经出现在许多中东古国的记载中了,如赫梯人所说的“卡尔基亚”,巴比伦人所说的“卡尔萨”和波斯人所说的“库尔卡”。另一些文献则称,该地区原来被叫作“腓尼基亚”,因为当地在很早的时候曾有一个腓尼基人的殖民地。至于“卡里亚”这个名字的由来,据说与神话传说中的腓尼基国王卡耳有关。荷马在《伊利亚特》中写到,在特洛伊战争时米利都城属于卡里亚人,并且是特洛伊一方的盟友。

Caria (/ˈkɛəriə/; from Luwian: Karuwa, "steep country"; Ancient Greek: Καρία, Karia, Turkish:Karya) was a region of western Anatolia extending along the coast from mid-Ionia (Mycale) south to Lycia and east to Phrygia. The Ionian and Dorian Greeks colonized the west of it and joined the Carian population in forming Greek-dominated states there. The inhabitants of Caria, known as Carians, had arrived there before the Greeks. They were described by Herodotos as being of Minoan descent, while the Carians themselves maintained that they were Anatolian mainlanders intensely engaged in seafaring and were akin to the Mysians and the Lydians. The Carians did speak an Anatolian language, known as Carian, which does not necessarily reflect their geographic origin, as Anatolian once may have been widespread. Also closely associated with the Carians were the Leleges, which could be an earlier name for Carians or for a people who had preceded them in the region and continued to exist as part of their society in a reputedly second-class status.
