Relationships

2,079 typed, source-backed relationships between entities. Each row records a directed relationship (subject → type → object) with a justifying source and rationale note. See relationship_types for the full controlled vocabulary of 70 relationship types. Key types: reception_of / received_as (transmission across traditions), equated_with (interpretatio graeca / analogues), parent_of (genealogy), member_of (collective membership), emanates_from (Gnostic/Neoplatonic structure).

1482 Ullikummi ENT_HTT_ULLIKUMMI received_as Typhon ENT_TYPHON medium The Song of Ullikummi and Hesiod's Typhon narrative share the same plot structure: (1) the defeated predecessor deity (Kumarbi/defeated Titans, or Gaia acting on behalf of the old order) creates a monstrous adversary; (2) the monster grows to threaten heaven and challenge the storm god champion; (3) the champion (Teshub/Zeus) must struggle to defeat the monster. West (1997) pp. 300-302 makes this parallel explicit. In both myths, the monster's defeat marks the final establishment of the current divine order. Confidence medium because the narrative parallels are strong but the transmission mechanism is indirect (probably via Anatolian-Ionian contact rather than direct textual borrowing). Martin L.
