Arinna (sun goddess)

Solar deity. Hittite and Hurrian. May have taken androgynous form, but also identified as the consort of the weather god TESˇUB. Probably the head of the Hittite state pantheon. There is little detail because the religious center of Arinna is known only from texts. The sun goddess was also perceived to be a paramount chthonic or earth goddess.

She becomes largely syncretized with the Hurrian goddess HEBAT.
