Within the multifaceted religious framework of Asia Minor the present study tries to analyze the relations between gods and devoted kometai in the northeastern area of Lydia and the adjacent area of Phrygia, which are laid down epigraphically in inscriptions generally called «confession steles». For a comprehensive understanding of words like tyrannos, basileuein, doulos, hyperetes, etc, which have a very particular meaning, it is necessary to understand the religious ideology of the indigenous population. Though historically bound to oriental beliefs, and therefore different from the Greek, they have expressed their sentiments with Greek terms. As a consequence, this dichotomy can hide the true meaning of these terms, the interpretation of which has raised controversy amongst scholars for some time.
