| 2329 | Anahit ENT_ARM_ANAHIT | reception_of | Anahita ENT_ZOR_ANAHITA | high | Anahit is the Armenian reception of Zoroastrian Anahita (Avestan: Arədvī Sūrā Anāhitā — "the Moist, Strong, Immaculate"). Name derivation is regular and secure. Both are water, fertility, and war-victory deities; both receive royal patronage. Russell (1987) pp. 121-250 provides the definitive analysis. The transformation from Anahita to Anahit involved absorption of Hellenistic Artemis characteristics (virginity, hunting) and greater prominence as national deity. | James R.

| 2391 | Kiririsha ENT_ELAM_KIRIRISHA | aligned_with | Anahita ENT_ZOR_ANAHITA | low | Kiririsha and Anahita are parallel as the principal goddess figures of the Iranian cultural sphere in successive historical periods — Kiririsha as the Elamite great goddess (c. 2200–539 BCE), Anahita as the Zoroastrian/Iranian water-and-fertility goddess (attested from the Achaemenid period). Both are associated with water, fertility, and divine protection of the Iranian world. Confidence low: the parallel is typological across a large chronological gap (the Achaemenid synthesis of Iranian and Elamite religious traditions is attested but the specific Kiririsha → Anahita transmission is scholarly inference rather than inscriptional fact.
