The founding myth of Marseille is an ancient creation myth telling the legendary foundation of the colony of Massalia (modern Marseille), on the Mediterranean coast of what was later known as southern Gaul, by Greek settlers from Phocaea, a city in western Anatolia. Although the attested versions differ on some details, they all recount the story of the marriage of the princess Gyptis (or Petta), the daughter of Nannus, chief of the native Segobrigii, to the Phocaean sailor Protis (or Euxenus). On her wedding day, the princess chooses to marry the foreigner by giving him a bowl filled with wine or water during the feast.

  • La légende de Gyptis et Protis est le mythe fondateur qui raconte la fondation légendaire de Marseille (Massalia) vers 600 av. J.-C. par des colons grecs venus de la cité de Phocée en lonie. Nous ne disposons désormais que de deux sources principales du mythe : l'histoire décrite par Aristote (384-322 av. J.-C.) dans « La Constitution des Massaliotes », la plus ancienne, et celle de Trogue Pompée (Ier siècle av. J.-C.) dans ses « Histoires philippiques », aujourd'hui perdues mais résumées par l'historien romain Justin (IIIe – IVe siècle). (fr)
