Iobates and Madduwatta[edit]

It is possible that Iobates, king of Lycia (according to Greek Mythology) may be Madduwatta, a Lukkan, king of Zippalsa and Arzawa (according to Hittite sources). --IonnKorr 21:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Madduwatta and Jobates[edit]

- Was Argos that gave its name to Arzawa?

Note: The word "wa' means "land" in Hittite language.

- Was Bellerophon, the Corinthian prince of Greek Mythology, the same person with Uhhaziti, king of Arzawa?

- Was Arza-wa the "Argive land" (i.e. Achaean or Mycenean colonies), in Asia Minor (or else, Anatolia), in 16, 15, 14 centuries B.C. ?

- Was Madduwatta or Maddywattes, the Lukkan king of Arzawa (1360? B.C.) the same person with Jobates, the king of Lycia according to Greek Mythology?

- - Is exact the etymology, below ? :

Madduwatta < Maddu-watta < (Madd)u-watta < Uwatta < Ιοβάτα < Ιοβάτης (Jobates or Iobates)

- Was Piyama-Kurunta, Arzawean general and son of Uhhaziti, the king of Arzawa, the same person with Hippolochus (= he who is leader of cavalry, in Greek), the first son of Bellerophon or with ("Pegasus (the Corinthian)", the mythical horse of Bellerophon?

Note:

Hippolochus = Hippus ( = horse, in Greek) + lochus ( = group of soldiers, in Greek).

Genealogy?[edit]

The genealogy of Iobates is not stated in the page. I have saw the page is full of information about Iobates's relatives (eg. Proteus, Antea, Philonoe). But there is less information about Iobates. I think the page should contain more information about him.--User:Amit6/Template:Amit6

Iobates is also mentioned in the CATHALOGUES. He is called worshipful king, the great-hearted IOBATES,… lord of……

FRAGMENT 7: BELLEROPHON Berlin Papyri, No. 7497; Oxyrhynchus Papyri, 421: 3 (ll. 1-24) …. And he wedded the dear child of the great-hearted Iobates, the worshipful king . . . lord (of) . . . and she bare . . '

Wasn't Iobates Biblical Job?

Iob, Job, Hiob, Ayyoub was the second king of Edom. He was great-hearted, worshipful king of Edom. (Bible - The Book of Job, and Genesis 36 where Job is called Jobab - the second king of Edom)

Job married Arabian woman (probably daughter of Arabus son of Thornia, daughter of Belus known from the Bible as Bela - the first king of Edom - Genesis 36), and had three daughters.
