Editing Dagon (section)

=== Dagan, Enlil and Kumarbi ===
In [[Ancient Mesopotamia|Mesopotamia]], Dagan was equated with [[Enlil]] due to their shared role as "fathers of gods." This equation was eventually codified by the god list ''[[An = Anum]]'', which additionally equated their spouses with each other.{{sfn|Archi|2004|pp=324–325}} However, which of the two parts of this equation was viewed as the primary god varied. In [[Mari, Syria|Mari]], it was Dagan who received Enlil's epithets, and in [[Emar]] the [[Logogram|logographic]] writing <sup>d</sup>KUR, a shortened version of Enlil's epithet <sup>d</sup>Kur-gal (Great Mountain), stood for Dagan's name in the late Bronze Age.{{sfn|Archi|2004|pp=326–327}} It is unclear if this equation was responsible for the logographic writing of the name of Emar's city god as <sup>d</sup>NIN.URTA, as the god of Emar is unlikely to be Dagan's primary son Hadad (whose name was written logographically as <sup>d</sup>IŠKUR), and in Hurrian sources from Syria <sup>d</sup>NIN.URTA is the war god [[Aštabi]] rather than a weather god.{{sfn|Archi|2004|pp=327–328}}

In [[Hurrian religion|Hurrian]] tradition, Dagan was equated with [[Kumarbi]],{{sfn|Archi|2013|p=12}} though only because of shared senior position in the respective pantheons.{{sfn|Archi|2004|p=331}} Kumarbi was nonetheless called "the Dagan of the Hurrians,"{{sfn|Archi|2013|p=15}} and Shalash was viewed as his spouse due to this [[syncretism|syncretic process]].{{sfn|Archi|2013|pp=14–15}} However, she is absent from Hurrian myths about Kumarbi.
