The Kumarbi Epic #2: The Rise of Kumarbi | Hittite Mythology (Podcast Discussion)

from Veritas Antiqua · host Aytuğ Asım Dikyol

Welcome to the brutal and cosmic drama of the Hurrian-Hittite gods. In this first episode, we journey back to the beginning, when the divine throne was a stage for betrayal and violent succession. Learn about Alalu, the first king in heaven, and how he was overthrown by his own cupbearer, Anu. But the cycle of violence doesn't end there. For nine years, Kumarbi, the son of the deposed king, serves his new master, Anu, biding his time.Join us as we recount the shocking act of rebellion that shatters the divine order: a celestial chase, a brutal castration, and an unwilling pregnancy that will give birth to three new powerful gods, including the mighty Storm God, Teshub. This is the beginning of the "Song of Kumarbi," an epic tale of power, vengeance, and creation.
