| 1534 | Telipinu ENT_HTT_TELIPINU | received_as | Demeter ENT_DEMETER | low | The Telipinu vanishing-deity myth and the Demeter/Kore myth share the same narrative logic: (1) a deity associated with vegetation and fertility withdraws or disappears; (2) all crops, animals, and fertility fail during the absence; (3) the divine community searches and eventually recovers the missing deity; (4) fertility and life return with the deity's restoration. West (1997) identifies the Telipinu myth as the Hittite version of this pan-Near Eastern pattern, and treats it as a probable intermediate between the Mesopotamian Dumuzi/Tammuz dying-deity narrative and the Greek Demeter/Persephone myth. The transmission route would be through Anatolian-Greek contact in the Archaic period. Confidence low because the Telipinu myth has the deity vanishing in anger (not dying or being abducted), which is structurally slightly different from Persephone's abduction by Hades; the convergence is in the effect (vegetation fails) rather than the mechanism. | Martin L.
