Satrapes was a god in the
Palmyrene pantheon, the name occurring in Syrian inscriptions from
Palmyra and the Hauran.
Pausanias (vi.25, 26) mentions 'Satrapes' as the name of a god who had a statue and a cult in
Elis and is identified with
Korybas.
The origin of this 'god' is obscure. It may have arisen from a cult identifying the divine and royal aspect of the satrap's power, in a similar fashion to many deified personifications in Roman paganism, i.e. the goddess Pietas.
