Echoes
Adad, Tarhunt, Lametrus and 6 more
One god under nine names (Adad, Tarhunt, Lametrus, Papas, Baal, Zeus, Hadad, Baalshamin and Tinia), across The Cradle of Cities, The Olympian Order, The Levantine Borderlands and The Etruscan World.
Why the sources call them one god
who in the west bore the name Hadad, in the south Adad, and at Aleppo Adad of Aleppo
who simply translated the Lydian high god as Zeus and recorded little of distinctively Lydian content
The Greeks identified him with Zeus; the Romans found him already so fully Hellenized
His proper name was Hadad, the same Hadad whom the Mesopotamians called Adad
His proper name was Hadad, the same Hadad whom the Mesopotamians called Adad
the same Hadad whom the Mesopotamians called Adad and the Hittites called Tarhunt
the figure whom the Romans equated with their Jupiter and the Greeks with Zeus
the same name as the Mesopotamian Adad, but with a distinct Aramaean cult-history
with whom Hadad had been identified in the Hellenistic period
he was equated with the Greek Zeus and the Roman Iuppiter Maximus
