Acts 14:13

The priest of the temple of Zeus outside the city brought bulls and wreaths to the gates and wanted to sacrifice together with the people. [Archaeological finds of sculptures from Antioch in Pisidia depict sacrificial bulls with their horns adorned with flowers.]
[According to Greek mythology, Hermes was the messenger of the gods. He was the son of Zeus and the god of orators, merchants, and thieves. His image is found in the logo of the Stockholm School of Economics, and his name is included in the word hermeneutics, which deals with how to interpret a text. Since Paul was the one who spoke, people believed that he was Hermes, and therefore Barnabas must be the supreme god Zeus. Perhaps this assumption was based on an old legend, in which Zeus and Hermes had descended to earth in human form. When the priest of Zeus began to prepare a sacrifice, Paul and Barnabas asked what was going on.
The Lycaonian language was a local mountain dialect, and only a few texts have been found in this language. However, the area had been under Hellenistic influence for several centuries, which meant that they had no difficulty understanding Paul's Greek.]
