| 释义 |
In Greek mythology, Hiera ({{lang|grc|Ἱέρα}}) is the wife of Telephus, the mythic founder of the city of Pergamum.[1] She is depicted in the frieze on the interior of the Altar of Pergamum.[2] During the Trojan War the Greeks attacked Pergamum, either because they mistook it for Troy, or because an alliance existed between Troy and Pergamum. Hiera was apparently an Amazon,[2] and the Amazons united with the defenders of Pergamum to repel the attack. However, in the battle Hiera was killed by the Greek warrior Nireus.[2] Telephus was so grief-stricken that he called a cease-fire to hold the funeral for Hiera, before restarting the battle and finally driving the invaders away.[2] It is possible that the ancient city of Hierapolis (modern Pamukkale, Turkey) was named in her honor, though the name can also be read as just 'holy city'.[3] She had two sons with Telephus, Tarchon and Tyrsenus.[1] See also
