Ma was a local goddess at Comana in Cappadocia. Her name Ma means "Mother", and she also had the epithets "Invincible" and "Bringer of Victory".[1]

History

Ma has been interpreted as a mother goddess, but at the same time as a warrior goddess, as her name and epithets indicate both.[2]

She was associated with the transition of adulthood of both genders, and sacred prostitution was practiced during her biennial festivals.[3]

Ma has been identified with a number of other deities, indicating her function. She has been compared to Cybele and Bellona. The ancient Greeks compared Ma to the goddess Enyo and Athena Nicephorus.[4] Plutarch likened her with Semele and Athena.[5] Ma was introduced and worshiped in Macedonia together with other foreign deities.[6][7]

Cult

Ma is described as a local Anatolian goddess, with her cult centered around her temple at Komana in Cappadocia. Her temple in Comana is described at length by Strabo (XI, 521; XII, 535, 537{{clarify|date=November 2016}}).

6. ^Hecate - Enodia "Enodia’s name is accompanied by the definition “goddess”, thus showing that Enodia was a foreign deity who came to Macedonia, like Dea Syria, the Cappadocian goddess Ma, the Phrygian goddess Nemesis, and the Mother of the Gods."
7. ^Ma "Her cult was also diffused in Macedonia, where it was introduced after the campaign of Alexander the Great and was disseminated relatively easily, perhaps because the goddess had many similarities with the Mother of the Gods, Artemis and various local deities."
