ʿAṯtar
Semitic deity associated with Venus
ʿAṯtar
ʿAṯtar or Athtar, is a deity whose role, name, and even gender varied across ancient Semitic religion. In both genders, ʿAṯtar is identified with the planet Venus, the morning and evening star. ʿAṯtar is a prominent character in the Baal Cycle and is considered an astral warrior god, being given the titles "Athtar of the Stars" and "Athtar of the Heaven". It has been suggested that ʿAṯtar as a masculine Venus god was syncretized into the depiction of feminine Venus goddess Inanna in her depiction as having a masculine beard.
