The Missing God Telipinu Myth: A Chapter from the Ancient Anatolian Mythology

Abstract

The Hittites haven’t their own mythos. They served as a bridge to transfer this kind of literary creations from the local Anatolians (Hatti) and the other cultures (Hurri and Mesopotamia) to the ancient civilizations. The most important one of those samples is the mythos, called as “The missing God Telipinu”, which build on a theme about “turning back a god who got angry to someone or something, and went away the country, so with his departure, he took away the wealth and abundance”
