Atergatis is the name of a Syrian goddess, whose temple is mentioned in 2Ma 12:26. That temple appears, by comparing 1Ma 5:43, to have been situated at Ashteroth-Karnaim. Her worship also flourished at Mabug (i.e. Bambyce), afterwards called Hierapolis according to Pliny.<\/p>\n
There is little doubt that Atergatis is the same divinity as Derketo, which was worshipped in Phoenicia and at Ascalon under the form of a woman with a fish’s tail, or with a woman’s face only and the entire body of a fish; that fishes were sacred to her, and that the inhabitants abstained from eating them in honor of her.<\/p>\n
Atergatis is thus a name under which the ancients worshipped some modification of the same power which was adored under that of Ashtoreth. The fish-form shows that Atergatis bears some relation, perhaps that of a female counterpart, to Dagon.<\/p>\n
