1474 Teshub ENT_HTT_TESHUB identified_with Tarhunna ENT_HTT_TARHUNNA high The Hurrian storm god Teshub and the Hittite storm god Tarhunna are closely identified throughout the syncretized Hittite-Hurrian religious tradition. At the Yazilikaya open-air sanctuary (c. 1250 BCE), the two traditions' storm deities appear together, effectively as the same divine power under different names. Hittite treaty texts and prayers use the names interchangeably or in paired formulae. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE
1475 Tarhunna ENT_HTT_TARHUNNA identified_with Teshub ENT_HTT_TESHUB high Tarhunna as the Hittite name of the storm deity identified with the Hurrian Teshub; both are the chief storm gods of their respective traditions and merged in Hittite-Hurrian syncretic religion. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE
1476 Inanna/Ishtar ENT_MES_INANNA_ISHTAR identified_with Shaushka ENT_HTT_SHAUSHKA high Hittite religious texts explicitly call Shaushka "Ishtar of Nineveh" and "Ishtar of Samuha," demonstrating a direct identification rather than mere structural parallel. The Myth of Shaushka and Hedammu and treaty texts from the Hittite empire routinely use the two names as equivalents. Shaushka is the Hurrian reception of the Mesopotamian love/war goddess complex, transmitting the Inanna/Ishtar tradition into Anatolian religion. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE
1477 Shaushka ENT_HTT_SHAUSHKA identified_with Inanna/Ishtar ENT_MES_INANNA_ISHTAR high Shaushka as the Hurrian reception of Mesopotamian Inanna/Ishtar; Hittite texts call her "Ishtar of Nineveh" and "Ishtar of Samuha"; the identification is explicit in the primary sources.

1486 Illuyanka ENT_HTT_ILLUYANKA received_as Python ENT_PYTHON low The Illuyanka myth (Hittite) and the Apollo/Python tradition both belong to the broader Near Eastern "storm/solar deity defeats serpent to claim a sacred site" pattern, which appears also in Baal/Lotan (Ugaritic), Marduk/Tiamat (Babylonian), and Zeus/Typhon (Greek). Illuyanka is defeated by Tarhunna (the storm god) with help from the goddess Inaras and a mortal, paralleling the multi-agent defeats in other serpent-combat myths. The transmission to the specifically solar Apollo/Python form is indirect — probably via the same broad transmission pathway as other Near Eastern→Greek myth contacts in the Archaic period. Confidence low because Apollo (not the storm god) is the serpent's defeater in the Greek version, and no direct textual link between Illuyanka and Python is demonstrable. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Archaic Period PER_GRK_ARCHAIC
1487 Python ENT_PYTHON reception_of Illuyanka ENT_HTT_ILLUYANKA low Python as a possible Greek reception of the Anatolian serpent-combat tradition (Illuyanka); the pattern of a divine champion defeating a serpent to claim a sacred site is shared, but Apollo's solar rather than storm nature makes the transmission indirect.

1536 Dumuzi/Tammuz ENT_MES_DUMUZI_TAMMUZ aligned_with Telipinu ENT_HTT_TELIPINU low 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. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE
1537 Telipinu ENT_HTT_TELIPINU reception_of Dumuzi/Tammuz ENT_MES_DUMUZI_TAMMUZ low The Hittite Telipinu vanishing-deity pattern as a possible reception of the older Mesopotamian Dumuzi/Tammuz dying-vegetation-deity tradition; structural parallel rather than documented transmission. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE
1538 Inaras ENT_HTT_INARAS guides Tarhunna ENT_HTT_TARHUNNA high In the first version of the Illuyanka myth (CTH 321 §§1-8), Inaras devises and executes the strategy that allows Tarhunna (the storm god) to defeat Illuyanka: she prepares the feast that lures the serpent into vulnerability and recruits the mortal Hupasiya to bind him. Tarhunna's victory over Illuyanka is explicitly enabled by Inaras's cunning rather than the storm god's direct power alone. Harry A. Hoffner Jr., Hittite Myths, 2nd ed. (Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS reviewed Hittite Empire Period PER_HTT_EMPIRE

(Society of Biblical Literature, 1998) SRC_HOFFNER_HITTITE_MYTHS approved  
2108 Alalu ENT_HTT_ALALU dwells_in Underworld ENT_UNDERWORLD high Hoffner, Hittite Myths — Song of Kumarbi: after being defeated by Anu in the ninth year, Alalu "went down to the dark earth (the underworld)" where he took refuge.

2109 Alalu ENT_HTT_ALALU opposes Teshub ENT_HTT_TESHUB medium Hoffner, Hittite Myths — Song of Kumarbi: the Kumarbi Cycle stages a succession war through the chain Alalu → Anu → Kumarbi → Teshub; Alalu's displacement is the first act in the conflict that Teshub ultimately resolves as the ruling storm god.
