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)
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
