Resumo

Este artículo analiza la existencia de un posible ritual en la antigua Macedonia que fuese similar al Akîtu babilonio. Pensamos que la victoria de Zeus sobre sus enemigos en la gigantomaquia y tifonomaquia fue celebrada por los reyes macedonios para fortalecer su posición en el poder. Aunque no hay evidencias directas de ello, tenemos una serie de diferentes fuentes en las cuales los macedonios están relacionados directa o indirectamente con Tifón y los gigantes. Además, la estratégica importancia del monte Olimpo para los macedonios nos hace pensar que la victoria de Zeus sobre las fuerzas del mal fue conmemorada de alguna forma por ellos.

This paper looks at the existence of a possible ritual in the ancient Macedonia that was similar to the Babylonian Akîtu. We think that the victory of Zeus over their enemies in the Gigantomachy and Typhonomachy was celebrated by the Macedonian kings to strengthen their position in the power. Although there is no direct evidence about it, we have a load of different sources in which the Macedonians are related directly or indirectly to Typhon and the Giants. Besides, the strategic importance of Mount Olympus for the Macedonians make us think the victory of Zeus over the forces of Evil was commemorated someway by them.
