1506 Baal Hadad ENT_CAN_BAAL received_as Melqart ENT_PHO_MELQART medium Melqart ("king of the city") is the Iron Age Phoenician development of the Bronze Age Baal/Hadad storm-and-kingship deity tradition from Ugarit. The "Baal of Tyre" condemned in 1 Kings 16:31 (the god of Ahab's Sidonian wife Jezebel) is identified with Melqart by scholars (Markoe 2000, Cross 1973). The dying-and-rising element of Melqart — his annual egersis (awakening) rite documented in Menander of Ephesus (via Josephus, Against Apion 1.118-119) — continues the Dumuzi/Tammuz dying-deity pattern that entered Phoenicia from Mesopotamia. The continuity between Baal (Ugaritic Bronze Age) and Melqart (Tyrian Iron Age) is strong but the Iron Age deity has a distinct city identity, making this a received_as relationship rather than a simple continuation.
