SRC_TARACHA_ANATOLIA Piotr Taracha, Religions of Second Millennium Anatolia (Dresdner Beiträge zur Hethitologie 27; Harrassowitz Verlag, Wiesbaden, 2009)   secondary scholarship Comprehensive study of Anatolian religious traditions from the Bronze Age through the Iron Age transition, covering Hittite, Luwian, Hurrian, and Palaean religious systems alongside their interrelations. The chapter on Luwian religion surveys the major Luwian deities of the Neo-Hittite Iron Age states (c. 1200-700 BCE): Tarhunza (storm deity), Sharruma, Kubaba, Kamrusepa, and others as attested in Luwian hieroglyphic inscriptions from Carchemish, Malatya, Karkamish, Zincirli, and Karatepe. For Kubaba specifically, Taracha discusses her role as the city goddess of Carchemish — the principal Neo-Hittite state and the city where her cult was most prominent — her divine attributes (enthroned with pomegranate and mirror, associated with the lion), her connection with divine sovereignty and queenship, and the transmission of her name into Phrygian as "Kubileya" (thus completing the etymological chain Kubaba → Kubileya → Cybele).
