| 2304 | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | embodies | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Perun is the divine personification of the thunderstorm; his cult is centred on lightning as a divine force striking chaos from the sky.

| 2305 | Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | medium | Kemosh's warrior function and Hellenistic equation with Ares suggest a storm/war deity typology; not directly described as a storm deity in surviving Moabite sources but inferred from the divine anger / lightning metaphor pattern in the Mesha Stele. DDD Bible "Chemosh" entry. | Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible SRC_DDD_BIBLE | reviewed | Iron Age Transjordanian PER_TRANSJORDAN_IRON_AGE |
| 2321 | Gebeleizis ENT_THRA_GEBELEIZIS | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Herodotus 4.94: the Getae shoot arrows at the sky to threaten Gebeleizis during thunderstorms, identifying him as the sky/storm deity. The act of threatening the deity with arrows during storms is the clearest possible attestation of his function as lord of storm and thunder. | Herodotus, Histories (c. 430 BCE) SRC_HERODOTUS_HISTORIES | reviewed | Thracian Iron Age and Classical Period PER_THRA_IRON_AGE |
| 2339 | Ukko ENT_FINN_UKKO | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Ukko is the Finnish thunder and storm deity; Agricola 1551 states he "ruled weather and the air." The Kalevala invokes Ukko whenever a storm or lightning is needed. His primary domain is control of thunder, lightning, and rain. Agricola 1551. | Mikael Agricola, Se Wsi Testamenti (The New Testament) and Psalttari (Finnish Psalter), 1548/1551; deity list in the Psalter introduction (Rucouskiria, 1544) SRC_AGRICOLA_PRIMER | reviewed | Finnish Traditional / Pre-Christian PER_FINN_TRADITIONAL |
| 2352 | Teisheba ENT_URA_TEISHEBA | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Teisheba is explicitly the storm and thunder deity of Urartu, called "lord of the sky" in Urartian inscriptions. The city Teishebaini ("city of Teisheba," modern Karmir Blur) takes its name from his storm-deity function. He is the direct successor of Hurrian Teshub in the Urartian theological system. Piotrovsky (1969) pp. 95-100. | Boris B. Piotrovsky, The Ancient Civilization of Urartu: An Archaeological Adventure, trans. James Hogarth (Cowles / Cresset Press, New York / London, 1969) SRC_PIOTROVSKY_URARTU | reviewed | Kingdom of Urartu PER_URA_IRON_AGE |
| 2379 | Baalshamin ENT_ARA_BAALSHAMIN | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Baalshamin is explicitly the deity of the heavens and weather — rain, storm, and cosmic sovereignty over the sky. As "Lord of Heaven" his storm/rain patronage is his primary inscriptional function: the Zakkur stele (c. 800 BCE) shows him intervening in a military crisis through prophetic oracles, but his core domain is the sky and its weather functions. The storm-deity role is consistently attested across Aramean and Palmyrene sources. Lipiński (2000) pp. 577-580; Kaizer (2002) p. 62. | Edward Lipiński, The Aramaeans: Their Ancient History, Culture, Religion (Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 100; Peeters, Leuven, 2000) SRC_LIPINSKI_ARAMEANS | reviewed | Aramean and Syrian Hellenistic Religion PER_ARA_IRON_AGE |
| 2383 | Hadad of Damascus ENT_ARA_HADAD_DAMASCUS | patron_of | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Hadad of Damascus is explicitly the storm deity of the Aramean kingdom — the Aramaic name "Hadad" means "thunderer," and his function in inscriptions and the OT accounts of the Damascene kings is consistently as the storm god who gives rain and grants military victory. The Melqart stele inscription invokes Hadad's divine favor; the royal epithets Ben-Hadad ("son of Hadad") and Hadadezer ("Hadad is my help") confirm his storm-patronage as the basis of royal legitimacy. Lipiński (2000) pp. 570-572. | Edward Lipiński, The Aramaeans: Their Ancient History, Culture, Religion (Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 100; Peeters, Leuven, 2000) SRC_LIPINSKI_ARAMEANS | reviewed | Aramean and Syrian Hellenistic Religion PER_ARA_IRON_AGE |

| 2493 | Tinia ENT_ETR_TINIA | embodies | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Tinia is the Etruscan sky and thunder god who hurls the lightning bolts; the Piacenza Liver maps his celestial domain and he heads the council that casts the three kinds of thunderbolt. | De Grummond, Nancy Thomson.
