Adamma
Adamma is an ancient north‑Syrian goddess attested in Eblaite palace records ca. 2400 BCE and later incorporated into Hurrian and Emar contexts. She functioned as a named cultic deity with an institutional priesthood, a month and festival bearing her name, and documented offerings from the royal palace.
Alalu
Alalu (also Alala/Alal) is a primordial, ancestral god attested in Mesopotamian, Hurrian and Hittite sources. He appears in genealogical lists as an early progenitor of later sky-gods and in Hurrian myth (the Kumarbi Cycle) as a former 'king in heaven' overthrown and forced to flee to the underworld.
Allani
Allani is a Hurrian goddess who rules the land of the dead and participates in determining mortal fates. She appears in Hurrian ritual life and was incorporated into neighboring Mesopotamian and Anatolian religious corpora under Akkadian forms such as Allatum/Allatu.
Allanzu
Allanzu is a Hurrian youthful goddess, daughter of Ḫepat and Teshub, attested in Hurrian ritual lists and later worshiped by Hittites and Luwians (as Alasuwa). She functions primarily as a cultic daughter-figure within the household of Ḫepat and appears alongside family members in offerings and temple contexts.
Allatum (Allani / Allatu)
Allani (Hurrian) or Allatu/Allatum (Akkadian/Mesopotamian) is a Near Eastern underworld goddess associated with rulership of the land of the dead and with determination of fate. She appears across Hurrian, Mesopotamian and Hittite/Anatolian contexts and is closely linked with other chthonic deities such as Išḫara and Ereshkigal.
Ammarik
Ammarik (also Ammarig, Hammarigu; later Armaruk/‘lord of Armaruk’) is an ancient Eblaite deity most likely representing a deified mountain attested in third-millennium BCE Eblaite texts and later Hurrian and Hittite sources. He appears in Eblaite offering lists and an incantation context allied with weather cults and apotropaic ritual action.
Appu (Hurrian)
Appu is the central figure of a fragmentary myth preserved in Hittite archives as CTH 360 and conventionally regarded by scholars as reflecting a Hurrian tale. The text survives in Hittite-language form, is incomplete, and provides few concrete details about the character beyond its role as the story's protagonist.
Aranzaḫ
Aranzaḫ is the Hurrian divine personification of the river Tigris, treated in Hurrian religion as a numen and river-god who appears in the Kumarbi Cycle and as an ally-protector in the tale of Gurparanzaḫ. The figure is attested in Hurrian theophoric names and is discussed in scholarship in relation to later regional cultic references to the Tigris source.
Aštabi
Aštabi is an ancient Near Eastern deity attested in Eblaite, Hurrian, Ugaritic, and Hittite contexts. In later Hurrian and Hittite sources he functions as a war god and participant in divine assemblies and mythic combat; in the earliest Eblaite documents his precise original character is unresolved though he had named cult centers and cultic statues.
Hutena and Hutellura
Hurrian divine female figures associated with fate and with birth/midwifery. Frequently attested as part of the court of the goddess Ḫepat (Hebat), they appear in ritual offering lists and in mythic narratives as attendants who determine destiny and assist at births.
Isimud
Isimud (Akkadian Usmû; Hurrian Izzummi) is a minor Mesopotamian deity who functions as the sukkal (personal attendant, messenger, and doorkeeper) of the god Enki (Ea). Attested in mythic and ritual texts from the Early Dynastic through the Late Assyrian periods and adopted into Hurrian and Hittite contexts, he is best known for his distinctive two-faced iconography and his role conveying messages and performing household duties for Enki.
Išḫara
Išḫara is a polyvalent ancient Near Eastern goddess first attested at Ebla in the third millennium BCE, later incorporated into Mesopotamian, Hurrian, Hittite and other regional religious traditions. She functioned as a tutelary royal deity, an authority over love and the institution of marriage, an oath- and divination-linked divine figure, and was associated symbolically with reptiles and, in some Mesopotamian contexts, scorpions.
