The common elements are: (1) association with the planet Venus as the morning/evening star; (2) love and war function (Al-Uzza is invoked for protection in battle as well as for love); (3) association with sacred trees (Al-Uzza's sanctuary at Nakhla included sacred trees). The Nabataean Al-Uzza is sometimes depicted with the Aphrodite iconography that derives from Astarte. The transmission is most plausible through Phoenician-Arabian contact and the common Semitic religious substrate.
