Teşup Gets Angry #1: The Complete Legend | Hittite Mythology (Podcast)
from Veritas Antiqua · host Aytuğ Asım Dikyol
When a god is angry, the world trembles, but what happens when a god is hungry? In this episode of Veritas Antiqua, we listen to one of the darkest and most voracious stories in Hittite mythology: the Ebla Myth. When the Storm God, enraged at the wealthy city of Ebla, kicked open the gates of the Underworld, there was only one thing that could appease him: a massive feast. In this audio narration, you will hear:* The fear of Allani, the Sun Goddess of the Underworld, and the “astronomical” feast she prepared (10,000 cattle, 30,000 sheep!),* How the insatiable appetite of the gods determined human destiny,* And how a wealthy city (Ebla) was saved from destruction by being “fed to death.” Come to Goddess Allani's feast; but be warned, the menu here includes “the fate of humanity.” Enjoy the listening!Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
