Representations on Ripeyan Mountains in Ancient Greek and Indopersian Literature
T. Sh. Khalilova
Abstract
The mythical mountains located in the North, beyond which is the North Ocean, are reflected in the written ancient monuments of Greece and Rome and in the Indo-Aryan sources: Rigveda, Mahabharata, Avesta, Bundakhishn. The localization of the Riphean mountains, causing controversy to date, suggests, first of all, to geographically designate the Northern Ocean. Keywords: Riphean mountains, Caspian Sea, Hyrcanic Sea, North Ocean, Caucasus.
