=====Teshub vs. Hedammu and Ullikummi===== Another c. 1250 BC Hittite text, derived from the [[Hurrians]], tells of the Hurrian storm-god [[Teshub]] (with whom the Hittite's Tarhunna came to be identified) who lived on [[Mount Hazzi]], the Hurrian name for the Jebel Aqra, and his battle with the sea-serpent Hedammu. Again the storm-god is aided by a goddess Sauska (equivalent to Inaru), who this time seduces the monster with music (as in Nonnus), drink, and sex, successfully luring the serpent from his lair in the sea.<ref>Lane Fox, pp. 245, 284, 285β286; Ogden 2013a, [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA13 p. 13].</ref> Just as the Typhonomachy can be seen as a sequel to the Titanomachy, a different Hittite text derived from the Hurrians, ''The Song of Ullikummi'', a kind of sequel to the Hittite "kingship in heaven" succession myths of which the story of Teshub and Hedammu formed a part, tells of a second monster, this time made of stone, named Ullikummi that Teshub must defeat, in order to secure his rule.<ref>West 1966, pp. 21, 379β380, 381; Burkert, p. 20; Penglase, pp. 156, 159, 163; West 1997, pp. 103β104; Lane Fox, p. 286.</ref>
