1297 Lotan ENT_CAN_LOTAN embodies Chaos ENT_CHAOS high Lotan is a chaos-serpent figure embodying primordial chaos in the Ugaritic combat myth. John Day, God's Conflict with the Dragon and the Sea (Cambridge University Press, 1985) SRC_DAY_GODS_CONFLICT reviewed  
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
1370 Lotan ENT_CAN_LOTAN received_as Leviathan ENT_ISR_LEVIATHAN high Lotan (ltn, Ugaritic) is the direct linguistic and mythological cognate of Hebrew Leviathan (lwtn/lwytn). KTU 1.5 I 1–3: "When you smote Lotan the primordial serpent, annihilated the twisting serpent, the mighty one with seven heads." Isaiah 27:1 applies the same epithets to Leviathan verbatim ("Leviathan the fleeing serpent ... Leviathan the twisting serpent ... the dragon that is in the sea"). Name cognacy, description, and combat-myth role are all identical. Day 1985 pp. 1–30 and DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Leviathan" identify this as the most secure Canaanite→Israelite mythological transmission. John Day, God's Conflict with the Dragon and the Sea (Cambridge University Press, 1985) SRC_DAY_GODS_CONFLICT reviewed Exilic and Post-Exilic PER_ISR_EXILIC
