Abstract

In this study, the cults of Zeus and its interaction between the regions was investigated in the Aegean Thrace by using the epigraphic evidences. These inscrip-tions were found in Abdera, Stryme, Maroneia and Ainos which were important coastal settlements and in Agiasma and Pesoule-Maksimianoupolis which were land settlements of the region. Zeus was worshiped alone or combined with another deity -Athena, Dionysos, King Philippos, Maron and goddess Rome- between the 2nd half of the 5th century BC. and the 4th century AD. Orios, Eleutherios, Zbelthiourdos, Pesoulenos and Hypsistos are epi-thets of Zeus used in the region.
