Mēn was a lunar god worshipped in the western interior parts of Anatolia. He is attested in various localized variants, such as Mēn Askaenos in Antioch in Pisidia, or Mēn Pharnakou at Ameria in Pontus.
Mēn is often found in association with Persianate elements, especially with the goddess Anahita.Lunar symbolism dominates his iconography. The god is usually shown with the horns of a crescent emerging from behind his shoulders, and he is described as the god presiding over the months. Strabo describes Mēn as a local god of the Phrygians.Mēn may be influenced by the Zoroastrian lunar divinity Mah.
