The Cult of Ištanuwa (and Lallubiya) between Hattian and Aegean Cultures

Abstract This article collects information about the peculiar features occurring in the Ištanuwa/Lallubiya-texts which can be connected with their counterparts from the other cultic layers of the Hittite realm – namely the Hattian cults from the Hittite core land –, Mesopotamia, the Aegean, and classical sources, respectively. The sum of gathered data represents a better starting point for studying cultural commonalities, connections and transfers between these areas than the already presented isolated remarks, scattered in secondary literature. Especially the comparing features from the Ištanuwa/Lallubiya Luwian layer and the Hattian-Hittite layer will be treated here.
