== 前一千年紀 ==
青銅器時代のアナトリアの神殿に属する多くの神々は鉄器時代に崇拝されなくなったが<ref>Rutherford, 2017, p81</ref>、マリヤの派生種が前1千年まで崇拝され続けたと推定される<ref>Bryce, 1983, p6</ref><ref>Hutter, 2003, pp231-232</ref><ref>Payne, 2019, p242</ref>。しかし、紀元前2千年紀と紀元前1千年紀の証拠との関連は普遍的に受け入れられるものではなく、同様の機能が明らかに欠如していることから、カルバート・ワトキンスは、ヒッタイトのマリヤと同様の名前の後の神は単に同音の名前を持っていたに過ぎないと主張した<ref>Watkins, 2007, pp123-124</ref>。イアン・ラザフォードは、ワトキンスと違って、前一千年紀のマリヤがそれ以前の資料で知られていた女神と同一であることはもっともらしいと考えているが、マリヤの性質が同一ではないことも強調している<ref>Rutherford, 2020, pp330-331</ref>。
While many deities belonging to various [[Bronze Age]] Anatolian pantheons ceased to be worshiped in the [[Iron Age]], it is presumed to be derivatives of Maliya continued to be worshiped through the first millennium BCE. However, the connection between second and first millennium BCE evidence is not universally accepted, and due to apparent lack of similar functions [[Calvert Watkins]] argued the Hittite Maliya and similarly named later deities merely had [[homophonous]] names. Ian Rutherford, who unlike Watkins considers it plausible that the first millennium Maliya was identical with the goddess known from earlier sources, also stresses that her character is not identical.{{sfn|Rutherford|2020|pp=330-331}} ===Lycian attestationsリュキア文献 ===
Many attestations of Maliya are available from [[Lycia]], where she was regarded as the tutelary goddess of [[Rhodiapolis]].{{sfn|Payne|2019|p=242}} In this city, she was known under the epithet ''Wedrenni'', while in Phelos she was called Eriyupama, possibly either "the highly exalted" or "who overcame the enemy", with the latter interpretation making it possible to interpret her as a warlike goddess.{{sfn|Raimond|2007|p=154}} [[Trevor R. Bryce]] notes the view that the Lycian form of Maliya possessed such a role is also supported by an inscription from [[Xanthos]] and by a sarcophagus lid depicting her alongside [[Amazons]] in a battle scene.{{sfn|Bryce|1983|p=6}} Maliya is also referenced in the tomb inscription of a certain Iyamara, which might designate him as the priest of this goddess.{{sfn|Bryce|1981|p=83}} In some of the Lycian cities, Maliya was worshiped alongside the local weather god, [[Trqqas]].{{sfn|Rutherford|2020|p=330}}
