Akkadian gods: Encyclopedia II - Hadad - Sanchuniathon

This appears to be an attempt to combine two accounts of Hadad's parentage, one of which is the Ugaritic tradition that Hadad was son of Dagon. The cognate Akkadian god Adad is also often called the son of Anu 'Sky'. The corresponding Hittite god Teshub is ...
