And the Hattians. ” In myths, Hapantali appears beside the Luwian goddess Kam-

Rusepa (called Katahzip/wuri in the Hattian milieu, see also 3.2.4); 208 also in a later

Inar was mistress of wild nature, while the Moon and Hearth, mentioned ri ght

After her, were charged with fertility and the prosperity of the royal house. The Moon,

205

Kasku in Hattian, was not prominent in Hattian beliefe and it is not even clear

Whether it was personified. Also the Hearth was of rather secondary importance as

A domestic deity. Therefore, one shouid assume that their presence among the

Gods worshiped during the KI.LAM festival derived from the nature of this ceremony

Which was designed to ensure a good harvest in the land and prosperity for the city

And the royal house. Characteristically, singing in the cult of the Moon and Hearth

Was in Hittite. The phonetic complement in the writing of the Moon-god’s name

In the accusative (XXX-cm) shows that it is not Kasku, but rather the Hittite-

Luwian Moon-god Anna (see 3.2.4). Thus, the Moon and Hearth an* not Hattian

Divinities, even though the latter (Hasauwanza in Hittite) bears the Hattian mime
