1366 Tiamat ENT_MES_TIAMAT aligned_with Lotan ENT_CAN_LOTAN medium Functional/typological cognate (no attested diffusion of the Mesopotamian deity into the later cult); per Burkert/West the real transmission, where any, runs through Hurrian-Hittite intermediaries.

1367 Lotan ENT_CAN_LOTAN aligned_with Tiamat ENT_MES_TIAMAT medium Functional/typological cognate, not an attested reception (the cosmic-sovereignty/chaos parallels route through Hurrian-Hittite intermediaries or are modern comparisons; Burkert, West). John Day, God's Conflict with the Dragon and the Sea (Cambridge University Press, 1985) SRC_DAY_GODS_CONFLICT reviewed Canaanite Bronze Age PER_CAN_BRONZE_AGE
1368 Inanna/Ishtar ENT_MES_INANNA_ISHTAR received_as Astarte ENT_CAN_ASTARTE medium Inanna/Ishtar (Mesopotamian love/war goddess) received as Astarte (ʿṯtrt) in Canaanite tradition. Both rule love, fertility, and warfare; name Astarte is cognate with Ashtart/Ishtar. DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Ashtoreth" and "Astarte" traces the Mesopotamian origin and Canaanite reception of the love-war goddess figure.

1369 Astarte ENT_CAN_ASTARTE reception_of Inanna/Ishtar ENT_MES_INANNA_ISHTAR medium Astarte as Canaanite reception of Mesopotamian Ishtar; love/war attributes, iconography, and name cognate.

1530 Dagon ENT_CAN_DAGON parent_of Baal Hadad ENT_CAN_BAAL medium KTU 1.5 VI 24 (Baal Cycle, Ugarit) calls Baal "son of Dagon" (bn dgn). This parentage is attested in several Ugaritic texts alongside the alternative tradition that makes El Baal's father; Cross (1973) and Wyatt (2002) treat the Dagon-paternity as authentic, noting that Dagon's older Levantine authority made him a plausible divine father for the younger storm deity. The identification of Dagon as the "father" of the storm god parallels the Mesopotamian pattern where older grain/sky deities are the fathers of more active storm deities. N.

1531 Baal Hadad ENT_CAN_BAAL child_of Dagon ENT_CAN_DAGON medium Baal as "son of Dagon" per KTU 1.5 VI 24; alternate tradition also makes El his father. Medium confidence reflects the textual ambiguity. N. Wyatt, Religious Texts from Ugarit, 2nd ed.
