Mother goddess. Hittite and Hurrian. Described as the “great mother.” In the legend of TELEPINU, the missing god, she sends a bee to locate him.
When the bee stings Telepinu to awaken him, the god vents his rage on the natural world.
NOTE: the priestesses of the Phrygian mother goddess KYBELE were, according to the Roman writer Lactantius, melissai or bees.
