There is nothing there in any way related to gender. It pretty strongly implies that they didn't like Cybele because she was foreign. That would also correspond with the way the classical Greeks in general, and Herodotus in particular, saw the Scythians. </p><p><a href="/wiki/User:Abu_America" title="User:Abu America">Abu America</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Abu_America" title="User talk:Abu America">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anacharsis#c-Abu_America-2009-05-16T13:58:00.000Z-"patriarchal"" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Abu_America-2009-05-16T13:58:00.000Z-"patriarchal""><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Abu_America-2009-05-16T13:58:00.000Z-"patriarchal""></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Letters_of_Anacharsis" data-mw-thread-id="h-Letters_of_Anacharsis-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Letters_of_Anacharsis-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z"></span>Letters of Anacharsis<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Letters_of_Anacharsis-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Anacharsis&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Letters of Anacharsis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Singinglemon-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z-Letters_of_Anacharsis"></span>I've twice now had to restore the statement in this page that the letters of Anacharsis are fictitious. Since the page also states that the letters probably date from the 3rd century BC - this is, I know, a fairly obvious and banale point to make, but I'm baffled why anyone would want to delete it. I originally thought that <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/LycianFelix" title="Special:Contributions/LycianFelix">User:LycianFelix</a> first removed the line perhaps because it might be a bit redundant, but the second time he/she removed it the reason was "Improper Citation," which I don't understand. It may be that I've made a mistake in the wording, so I'm sure we can come up with a compromise reading which everyone will be happy with. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Singinglemon&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Singinglemon (page does not exist)">Singinglemon</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Singinglemon&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Singinglemon (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anacharsis#c-Singinglemon-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z-Letters_of_Anacharsis" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Singinglemon-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z-Letters_of_Anacharsis"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Singinglemon-2010-07-19T19:36:00.000Z-Letters_of_Anacharsis"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1&useformat=desktop" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none;
