= Ayali-Darshan N., ‘The Bride of the Sea’: The Traditions about Astarte and Yamm in the Ancient Near East, in: Fs Westenholz 19-33. [Abstract: Noga Ayali-Darshan surveys the ancient Near Eastern literary traditions about the sea-god Yamm being seduced by the goddess Astarte. Though curiously not found in the corpus of Ugaritic literature, where the goddess is associated with Yamm's adversary Baal, sources from Egypt (the "Astarte Papyrus" and the tale "The Two Brothers") and Anatolia (Hurro-Hittite "Song of Hedammu" and "Song of Ullikummi") preserve fragmentary versions of the story.] Neue Abfrage | New Search
