Photo by L. Repola. Introduction Concept: Hittite Divine Names (HDN) is an open, collaborative, flexible, and in-progress digital database of the divine names attested in the Hittite written sources. The databases pursues two goals. On the one side, it aims at providing an update to van Gessel’s Onomasticon of the Hittite Pantheon (1998, 2001). On the other side, it is conceived as a tool for quantitative analysis in the frame of a broader study on selected aspects of Hittite religion. Together with the related database Hittite Personal Names, HDN has been conceived and initiated by M. Cammarosano in 2016 within the DFG- funded research project Hittite Local Cults. Database: The database is based on the existing collections, expanded and integrated by an independent review of the secondary literature as well as by own research. The catalogue of text occurrences bases primarily on the indices of the published collections of sources. The online html database (https://cuneiform.neocities.org/HDN/start.html) can be sorted and searched by publication, by epithet, or by divine name (normalized or not). The pdf version reproduces the list of occurrences, sorted by normalized DN. A complete list of attested Hittite divine names is provided as a separate tool both in the html and pdf version. For effectively retrieving relevant occurrences, the attested writings and variant spellings are complemented by normalized forms. The normalized form of a name mostly coincides with that given in van Gessel's Onomasticon, and is given in brackets if not identical with the transliterated/transcripted occurrence. Hittite is alphabetised according to the usual conventions. In referring to texts, information on ‘obverse’ and ‘reverse’ is given only when necessary (tablets are assumed to be two-columned by default, so ‘KBo 43.218 iii 2’, but ‘KBo 58.128 obv. iii 5’, ‘KBo 43.227 rev. 5’ etc). Presently includes (version 0.2): The list of attestations includes the following cuneiform texts: KBo 42-70, ABoT 2, CHDS 2, DBH 43 (Bo 8264-8485), DBH 46 (Bo 4658-Bo 5000), UBT (Bo 8486-8694), Bo 3891 (R. Akdoğan, Kubaba 13/25, 2016); DNs from Emar: G.M. Beckman, The Pantheon of Emar, in Fs Popko, 2002. The general list includes the DNs treated in van Gessel’s OHP as well as in the update. Outlook: The database is updated at regular intervals. Besides expanding the corpus, it is planned to provide tools for performing queries and network analysis as well as up-to-date literature. A cooperation with F. Giusfredi (Verona University, PALaC project) has been started with a focus on the linguistic analysis of Hittite DNs. ♣ [ Occurrences, sorted by DN (normalized) ] DN transcription (normalized) Epithet Occurrences & notes Ahhali (Ah(ha)li(ya)) KBo 70.109 ii 22 Aya KBo 44.100 rev. 4 [] Aya KBo 57.206 3 (Determinative is missing) Aya KBo 58.110 i 13 [ Aya (at Emar: see Beckman, Fs Popko) Akni KBo 43.16 5 [ Agulliri KBo 64.339 iv 11 Ala KBo 43.175 5 Ala KBo 44.5 4 [ Ala KBo 49.126 5 [ Ala KBo 56.104 l. col. 9 Alalu KBo 50.26 8 ] Alalu (at Emar: see Beckman, Fs Popko) Allani KBo 43.145 10 Allani KBo 43.182 i 9 [ Allani KBo 43.319 i 26 Allani KBo 45.254 i 3 Allani KBo 46.102 i 22 Allani KBo 48.233 4 [ Allani KBo 49.125 11 Allani KBo 53.224 iv 16 ] Allani KBo 57.208 3 ] Allani KBo 63.131 3 Allani KBo 64.171 rev.? 9 Allani KBo 64.194 r. col. 23 Allai (Allani) KBo 64.339 iv 9 Allani (at Emar: see Beckman, Fs Popko) Allanzu (Allanza) KBo 44.111 obv. 1 [ Allanzu (Allanza) KBo 52.208 5 [?

  • General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems
    General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and I devote the first section of this translation to it. It tells of the creation of the present world order under the rule of almighty Zeus. The Works and Days, in the second section, describes a bitter dispute between Hesiod and his brother over the disposition of their father’s property, a theme that allows Hesiod to range widely over issues of right and wrong. The Shield of Herakles, whose centerpiece is a long description of a work of art, is not by Hesiod, at least most of it, but it was always attributed to him in antiquity. It is Hesiodic in style and has always formed part of the Hesiodic corpus. It makes up the third section of this book. The influence of Homer’s poems on Greek and later culture is inestima- ble, but Homer never tells us who he is; he stands behind his poems, invisi- ble, all-knowing. His probable contemporary Hesiod, by contrast, is the first self-conscious author in Western literature. Hesiod tells us something about himself in his poetry. His name seems to mean “he who takes pleasure in a journey” (for what it is worth) but in the Works and Days he may play with the meaning of “he who sends forth song.” As with all names—for example, Homer, meaning “hostage,” or Herodotus, meaning “a warrior’s gift”—the name of a poet may have nothing to do with his actual career.

  • Hurrian Language
    Ilse Wegner Introduction to the Hurrian Language Forward: Among the numerous languages of ancient near east, Hurrian is an important one, but in contrast to Akkadian or Hittite there are few investigations of this language, and summary works documenting present knowledge are non-existent. The present “Introduction” shall then be interested in providing access to the grammar as reflected in present research. Many grammatical phenomena that are introduced here may however in the future be modified or even completely reevaluated by others, especially since the study of the Hurrian language is strongly contested. A scientific grammar in the strict sense is not included in this introduction. The previous aids to the learning of Hurrian are however all out-of-date (?) and derive from three grammars and one glossary as well as from numerous scattered published articles. Works that introduce grammar to the student by means of largely coherent text fragments do not exist. These details shall here be taken into account. As reading pieces artificially formed sample sentences are not used. The sample texts originate primarily from the Mittani letters and a few examples of the Bo!azköy texts. Following after a strictly grammatical portion comes a series of transcriptions, with a translation and a commentary provided as lessons. Lessons 1-10 are text passages from the Mittani letters, Lesions 11-13 originate from the Hurrian-Hittite bilinguals of Bo!azköy, and lesson 14 treats the Ti"atal-Inscription. The text passages that are taken from the Mittani letters are not arranged by content criteria, but instead suitable text fragments are chosen so that the grammatical material progresses from introductory to difficult.

  • Cornil, Pierre "Le Traite De Suppiluliuma Et Shattiwaza"
    Le traité de Suppiluliuma et Shattiwaza par Pierre CORNIL Cet article présente un texte juridique du Proche-Orient antique, qui date du milieu du XIVème siècle, à savoir le traité que Suppiluliuma (1380-1346) imposait à Shattiwaza du Mitanni. Deux notices précèdent la traduction de ce texte: la première situe le pays du Mitanni dans son contexte historique et géographique, la deuxième explique le rôle de Shattiwaza. Pour ces deux points, j’utilise largement le travail de P. GARELLI, Le Proche-Orient asiatique, Nouvelle Clio 2 (1982). J’ai estimé inutile de réécrire en d’autres termes ce que GARELLI a décrit clairement. Une nouvelle édition de ce travail est en cours; mais les données historiques, citées ici, resteront valables. Les versions du texte ont été publiées dans Keilschrifttexte aus Boghazköi I, Leipzig (1916), 1 et 2, et dans Keilschrifturkunden aus Boghazköi III, Berlin (1922) 1. La transcription et la traduction allemande sont dues à E. F. WEIDNER, Politische Dokumente aus Kleinasien, Die Staatsverträge in akkadischer Sprache aus dem Archiv von Boghazköi, Boghazköi-Studien 8 (1923), Leipzig, 2-37. Elles ont servi de base au texte qui suit. 14 PIERRE CORNIL 1. Le Mitanni. Au courant du XVIème siècle, à un moment où à l'intérieur du royaume hittite il n’y avait que des difficultés, des meurtres, etc..., la haute Mésopotamie était le théâtre d’événements importants. Les divers royaumes hourrites et sémitiques, qui constellaient cette région, furent unifiés en un vaste Empire, celui du Mitanni. Nous ne savons rien des circonstances qui permirent la formation de cet État.

  • Sargon of Akkade and His God
    Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 69 (1), 63–82 (2016) DOI: 10.1556/062.2016.69.1.4 SARGON OF AKKADE AND HIS GOD COMMENTS ON THE WORSHIP OF THE GOD OF THE FATHER AMONG THE ANCIENT SEMITES STEFAN NOWICKI Institute of Classical, Mediterranean and Oriental Studies, University of Wrocław ul. Szewska 49, 50-139 Wrocław, Poland e-mail: [email protected] The expression “god of the father(s)” is mentioned in textual sources from the whole area of the Fertile Crescent, between the third and first millennium B.C. The god of the fathers – aside from assumptions of the tutelary deity as a god of ancestors or a god who is a deified ancestor – was situated in the centre and the very core of religious life among all peoples that lived in the ancient Near East. This paper is focused on the importance of the cult of Ilaba in the royal families of the ancient Near East. It also investigates the possible source and route of spreading of the cult of Ilaba, which could have been created in southern Mesopotamia, then brought to other areas. Hypotheti- cally, it might have come to the Near East from the upper Euphrates. Key words: religion, Ilaba, royal inscriptions, Sargon of Akkade, god of the father, tutelary deity, personal god. The main aim of this study is to trace and describe the worship of a “god of the fa- ther”, known in Akkadian sources under the name of Ilaba, and his place in the reli- gious life of the ancient peoples belonging to the Semitic cultural circle.

    The god Eltara and the Theogony Anna Mafia Polvani Firenze KBo 22.87 is a fragment with a text contammg a mythological tale that various 2 3 scholars (Archi\ Haas , and more recently, Schwemer ) have interpreted as belonging to the Kumarbi Cycle; however, it has never been studied in depth.

First we must consider the comparative mythological material which has been used to argue for the overthrow of El by Baal. We will then survey the remaining evidence concerning El in order to ascertain the extent to which his cult went into eclipse after the second millennium B.C. Special attention must be given here to the evidence from the Hebrew Bible where, some have claimed, the conflict between Yahweh and Baal can be understood as an extension of the conflict between El and Baal. 1. Comparative Mythological Materials The most important of the parallels which have been drawn upon to illuminate the interactions within Ugaritic myth are found in Hesiod's Theogony, Hurrian myths concerning Kumarbi (preserved in Hittite, though there are some unpub­ lished Hurrian fragments), and the lore derived from the Phoenician sage Sanchuniathon and transmitted by Philo of Byblos. The relevant data are summarized here for convenience. Hesiod's Theogony 1 The principal Greek gods are traced back to Gaia (Earth) who, without consort, gave birth to Uranos (Heaven). Uranos begot many children on Gaia (the generation of the 1 r have used the translation of R. Lattimore, Hesiod (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1959). See also M. L.

  • Goddess İšhara
    Goddess İšhara Tanrıça İšhara Leyla Murat* Abstract The Hittite cuneiform texts and the archeological evidence point out clearly that the Hittites had a polytheist belief in their religious life.

Goddess Išhara, who has a Mesopotamian origin, and who is transported to the Anatolia by Hurrians, is also the most important goddess of the Kizzuwatna region. Išhara is both illness- and cure-bestowed goddess; it also seems that a number of attributes such as underground, plant, mountain, river, spring, queen of oath, sexuality / propagation, cursing, sin, blood, dirtiness and making purification from the harmful things are given to this goddess. Key Words: Goddess Išhara, Kizzuwatna, illness, cure/health, oath, curse, purifying from the dirtiness/evil. Öz Hitit çivi yazılı belgeler ve arkeolojik kalıntılar, Hititlerde çok tanrılı bir din inancının hâkim oldu ğunu bize açıkça göstermektedir.

  • The Castrated Gods and Their Castration Cults: Revenge, Punishment, and Spiritual Supremacy

Gods in a number of different cultures were castrated, a mutilation that paradoxically tended to increase rather than diminish their powers. This cross-cultural examination of the eunuch gods examines the meaning associated with divine emasculation in Egypt, Asia Minor, Greece, the Roman Empire, India, and northern Europe to the degree that these meanings can be read from the wording of myths, early accounts, and the castration cults for some of these gods. Three distinct patterns of godly castration emerge: divine dynastic conflicts involving castration; a powerful goddess paired with a weaker male devotee castrated because of his relationship with her; and magus gods whose castration demonstrates their superiority. Castration cults associated with some of these gods—and other gods whose sexuality was ambiguous, such as Jesus—some of them existing up to the present day, illuminate the spiritual powers associated with castration for gods and mortals. Keywords: castration, eunuch, Osiris, Kumarbi, Ouranos, Cybele, Attis, Adonis, Combabus, Indra, Shiva, Odin, Hijra, Skoptsky astration traditionally refers to the removal Mack, 1964; Wilson & Roehrborn, 1999).
