1532 ENT_CAN_RESHEPH received_as ENT_APOLLO medium The Resheph→Apollo transmission is one of the better-documented Levantine→Greek deity parallels. Both share: (1) plague as primary domain — Resheph personifies pestilence (Hab. 3:5 has him flanking Yahweh alongside Deber/Plague); Apollo's arrows bring plague in the Iliad (1.43-52); (2) the bow as the weapon of disease; (3) a dual role sending AND ending plague (Apollo Apotropaios, the "averter," parallels Resheph's role as the deity who could be propitiated to stop pestilence); (4) a Cypriot connection — Resheph was worshipped at Kition on Cyprus (bilingual Phoenician-Greek inscriptions call him "Apollo") and Cyprus was a major transmission node for Levantine→Greek religious contact. West (1997) treats the Resheph-Apollo parallel as one of the most solidly attested Levantine→Archaic Greek deity connections. SRC_WEST_EAST_HELICON reviewed PER_GRK_ARCHAIC
