Episode description

Like with the storm gods, the Hittites worshipped multiple solar deities too. This episode (26) covers them, two sun goddesses and one sun god. I also explore the Hittite’s ideas on the underworld. The different traditions for solar deities and underworld likely come from the different population layers of the Hittite world.
