The Ugaritic ʿAttar (masculine) who temporarily sits on Baal's throne and is deemed too small for it (KTU 1.6 I 53-65) represents the masculine form of the Venus deity that South Arabian Athtar preserves. The gender divergence — Astarte is female, Athtar is male — reflects either an early Semitic tradition that was later feminized in the Levantine context, or independent masculine and feminine developments from a common ancestral deity. Cross (1973) treats them as related variants of the same root deity.
