=====Baal Sapon vs. Yamm===== From the south side of the Jebel Aqra, comes the tale of [[Baal-zephon|Baal Sapon]], and [[Yam (god)|Yamm]], the deified Sea (like Tiamat above). Fragmentary [[Ugaritic]] tablets, dated to the fourteenth or thirteenth-century BC, tell the story of the [[Canaan]]ite storm-god Baal Sapon's battle against the monstrous Yamm on Mount Sapuna the Canaanite name for later Greeks' Mount Kasios. Baal defeats Yamm with two throwing clubs (thunderbolts?) named 'Expeller' and 'Chaser', which fly like eagles from the storm-god's hands. Other tablets associate the defeat of the snaky Yamm with the slaying of a seven headed serpent [[Lotan|''ltn'' (Litan/Lotan)]], apparently corresponding to the biblical [[Leviathan]].<ref>Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA129 pp. 129β138]; West 1997, pp. 84β87; Lane Fox, pp. 244β245, 282; Ogden 2013a, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA12 12], [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA14 14], [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA75 75].</ref>
