495 In the Muwattalli II prayer (KÜB 6.45 i 50) the Storm-god of Haiti is mentioned together
with the ‘Prominent Calf,’ perhaps representing Seri (contra Singer 1996: 55: Sarrumma). Thus
He occurs in the disguise of Tessub. Cf. also the invocafc-ion of Seri, Herald of Hatti. in KUB 6.45

The sanctuary of the Sun-goddess of Arinna in Tahurpa, not far from Hattusa,’
Was important, for it was visited by the queen during the nuntarriyaihas festival
(3.2.6). The local Sun-goddess was called by the Hattian epithet Taliurpistanu ‘Sun

Attested in many towns of central and northern Anatolia, such as Hanhana and
Kaaba, and also in Zalpa after the reconquest of the northern territories by Hattu-
Sili ill (see below). One is entitled to believe that the Hattian name/epithet Am-
(m)amma/Mamma refers to a category of goddesses worshiped in the native Hittite
Region around the Capital and in territories lying farther to the north. 303 On the
Lists of divinities witnessing officiai treaties, Am(m)amma of Tahurpa is mentioned,
among others, along with goddesses who bore the epithet Katabba (‘Queen’) in tra
Ditional Hattian pantheons. It could indicate in this case that a similar category of
Goddesses had been intended (cf. 3.1.2).
The practice of introducing dynastic gods into local pantheons was the rule in
cities acting as royal residences. Sapinuwa (modern Ortaköy), a temporary residence
Of Tuthaliya III during the political crisis of the early years of his reign, was next to
Katapa one of the most important Centers in the basin of the Zuliya river (Classical
Scylax, modern Qekerek). The local pantheon was headed by Tessub and Hebat, chief
Deities of the dynastic pantheon. The kaluti- list of the local Storm-god comprises,

501 Stefano de Martino suggests Yassi Hüyük near Yozgat as a possible location of Hittite Tahurpa
(S. de Martino - F.M. Fales - S. Ponchia, “Ärchaeological Investigations at Yassi Hüyük (Yozgat):
The Site of Yassi Hüyük within the Overall Picture of Hittite Geography,” paper read at the
Th International Congress of Hittitologv in Qorum, 25-29 August 2008). In my opimon, however,
We should rather look for Tahurpa northeast of Hattusa in the direction of Katapa.
