The ""Baal of Tyre"" condemned in 1 Kings 16:31 (the god of Ahab's Sidonian wife Jezebel) is identified with Melqart by scholars (Markoe 2000, Cross 1973). The dying-and-rising element of Melqart — his annual egersis (awakening) rite documented in Menander of Ephesus (via Josephus, Against Apion 1.118-119) — continues the Dumuzi/Tammuz dying-deity pattern that entered Phoenicia from Mesopotamia. The continuity between Baal (Ugaritic Bronze Age) and Melqart (Tyrian Iron Age) is strong but the Iron Age deity has a distinct city identity, making this a received_as relationship rather than a simple continuation.",SRC_MARKOE_PHOENICIANS,reviewed,PER_PHO_IRON_AGE 1531,ENT_CAN_BAAL,child_of,ENT_CAN_DAGON,medium,"Baal as ""son of Dagon"" per KTU 1.5 VI 24; alternate tradition also makes El his father.
