44	Atargatis	Aramean	aligned_with	Inanna/Ishtar	Mesopotamian	medium	Atargatis and Inanna/Ishtar are parallel expressions of the Semitic great goddess tradition: both encompass love, fertility, war, sovereignty, and prophecy in a single divine figure; both have lion iconography (the lion throne); both have sacred prostitution traditions associated with their cults; and both are the supreme female divine powers of their respective traditions. The alignment is typological and structural — representing different regional expressions of the ancient Near Eastern great goddess — rather than a direct historical reception.
