Journal Title: Archivum Anatolicum-Anadolu Arsivleri - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Išhara appeared as a goddess first in the Northern Syria in the middle of third thousand B.C. in Ebla texts. She is observed in the Old Assyrian documents in Anatolia, and appears to be the most important goddess of the Kizzuwatna region in Hittite period. It is known in the Old Assyrian texts that the goddess Išhara had a temple of her own, she had votive plaques and her name was observed in theophoric personal names. In the light of the texts, which will be presented here, and some of which were released previously, the status of this goddess in the Old Assyrian period will be investigated; and we will also make some new points on the scorpion symbol, which is observed in the cylinder seals of those times.
