She has complex influences

OUTDATED

Anat, Canaanite goddess of the wild and war. A rambunctious deity, Anat’s strength is nigh unstoppable, leading to her family and even her mother to fear her presence, with her father El being quoted as saying “I know you, my daughter, that you are a manly sort, and that none are emotional as you.” It is possible that El gave her the responsibility of a dispenser of justice, as many of the gods audibly fear for their lives when they’re in her presence. During the campaign for the throne of the king of the gods, Anat was asked by her father El to not intervene and help her husband Baal during the competition, following her father’s orders Anat went as far as to physically stop Baal from confronting his rival Yam during a meeting between the gods. Eventually Baal succeeds in claiming the throne, allowing Anat to support him once more. With Anat, Baal was able to be forgiven by their mother Asherah for fighting Yam, as well as securing permission to build Baal’s palace. However during a feast held by Baal, the death god Mot consumes Baal, killing him. Distraught over the death of her husband, Anat ambushes Mot, completely annihilating him from the world. After the resurrection of Baal and the defeat of the undefeated Mot, Anat went back to Baal’s side. In another myth Anat grew jealous of a prince, as the prince was gifted a great bow crafted by the god Kothar-wa-khasis. Anat asked the prince for the bow, but the prince in his arrogance insults Anat, ironically asking her if women are even capable of hunting. After confiding with El over the prince’s sexist remark, El grants her permission to punish the prince. Anat orchestrates his murder with the help of a nomadic warrior, however in the scuffle the bow breaks, causing Anat to roar in frustration over the futility of her actions.

Anat is heavily associated with her sister and fellow wife of Baal, Astarte, with whom they almost always share a presence together. Anat’s name has remained nigh unchanged throughout time, with the other renditions of her name being Hanat and Anath, Anat itself is believed to mean ‘violence’ or ‘force’. Because of Anat’s popularity she held many epithets, such as “Anat the Maiden”, “Anat the powerful”, “the mistress of domination” and the “mistress of the high heavens” among many others. Much like Levantine mythology, Anat’s origins are hazy. Modern theories suggest she was originally an Amorite deity, only being folded into the Canaanite mythos later. It’s possible that Anat could’ve developed from Astarte’s proto-Semitic form. Anat held significant influence in Egypt, with her earning a spot among the Egyptian gods. Her husband Baal was absorbed by the Local Set, with Anat following along with Astarte to become Set’s wives. In Egypt Anat and Astarte were believed to be the daughters of both Ra and Ptah, the two highest deities of Egypt. The Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II was especially known for his fervent devotion to Anat, naming his war dog, sword, and even his daughter after the goddess. Her status and lordship over typically masculine qualities a has lead to intrigue by many, with it possibly serving as inclusivity in her worship, bringing in more liberal worship with her inversion of gender roles.
