Olivares Pedreño (2002) p. 170. | Juan Carlos Olivares Pedreño, Los dioses de la Hispania céltica (Bibliotheca Archaeologica Hispana 15; Real Academia de la Historia / Universidad de Alicante, Madrid, 2002) SRC_OLIVARES_IBERIAN | reviewed | Pre-Roman and Roman-period Hispanian Indigenous Religion PER_IB_IRON_AGE |
| 2389 | Kiririsha ENT_ELAM_KIRIRISHA | patron_of | Fertility ENT_FERTILITY | high | Kiririsha is the Elamite great mother goddess whose primary domain encompasses cosmic fertility, divine motherhood, and the renewal of life. Her name ("the Great Goddess") and her Liyan cult center — associated with the Persian Gulf coast's agricultural and maritime abundance — place her in the great mother goddess tradition. The Middle Elamite royal inscriptions invoke her alongside Inshushinak and Napirisha for the protection and fertility of the Elamite state. Potts (1999) pp. 282-286. | Daniel T. Potts, The Archaeology of Elam: Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State (Cambridge World Archaeology; Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1999) SRC_POTTS_ELAM | reviewed | Kingdom of Elam PER_ELAM_CLASSICAL |
