Luwian religion
Luwian religion was the religious and mythological beliefs and practices of the Luwians, an Indo-European people of Asia Minor, which is detectable from the Bronze Age until the early Roman empire. It was strongly affected by foreign influence in all periods and it is not possible to clearly separate it from neighbouring cultures, particularly Syrian and Hurrian religion. The Indo-European element in the Luwian religion was stronger than in the neighbouring Hittite religion.
Aranzaḫ
Aranzaḫ (alternatively romanized as Aranzah), also known as Aranziḫ or Araššiḫ was a Hurrian deity who represented the river Tigris. He was believed to be one of the deities born as a result of Kumarbi biting off the genitals of Anu during a battle over kingship in heaven. He also appears in a myth focused on a hero named after him, Gurparanzaḫ, in which he acts as his ally. He is also attested in numerous Hurrian theophoric names. A handful of attestations of his name have been identified in Ugaritic and Mesopotamian texts as well.
Hurrian religion
The Hurrian religion was the polytheistic religion of the Hurrians, a Bronze Age people of the Near East who chiefly inhabited the north of the Fertile Crescent. While the oldest evidence goes back to the third millennium BCE, it is best attested in cuneiform sources from the second millennium BCE written not only in the Hurrian language, but also Akkadian, Hittite and Ugaritic. It was shaped by the contacts between Hurrians and various cultures they coexisted with.
Tarḫunz
Tarḫunz (stem: Tarḫunt-) was the weather god and chief god of the Luwians, a people of Bronze Age and early Iron Age Anatolia. He is closely associated with the Hittite god Tarḫunna and the Hurrian god Teshub. The name of the Proto-Anatolian weather god can be reconstructed as *Tṛḫu-ent- ("conquering"), a participle form of the Proto-Indo-European root *terh2, "to cross over, pass through, overcome". It has cognates in Hittite tarḫu-, Latin trans-, Dutch door, German durch, and English through.
Mythologie hittite
thumb|Divinité assise, Empire hittite tardif (). Metropolitan Museum of Art.|alt=Photo d'une statuette en terre représentant un homme souriant assis La mythologie hittite comprend l'ensemble des mythes de la civilisation hittite, qui se développe au en Anatolie (Turquie actuelle) et forme à son apogée un puissant empire rivalisant avec l'Égypte pharaonique. Cette mythologie est documentée par des textes cunéiformes mis au jour dans la capitale de cet empire, Hattusa.
Teshub
Teshub (Teššub,Teshup, Teššup ou Tešup) est le dieu principal du panthéon hourrite, le roi des dieux. Il est le dieu de l'Orage, c'est-à-dire des phénomènes climatiques comme la pluie, le vent, la foudre, le tonnerre, qui sont ses armes. Teshub est donc à rapprocher d'autres divinités similaires occupant elles aussi une place importante dans leur panthéon, comme Adad (Mésopotamie), Addu (Amorrites), Hadad/Baal (Canaan), Tarhu (Hittites), Seth (Egypte) ou encore Teisheba (Urartu).
Kumarbi
Kumarbi, also known as Kumurwe, Kumarwi and Kumarma, was a Hurrian god. He held a senior position in the Hurrian pantheon, and was described as the "father of gods". He was portrayed as an old, deposed king of the gods, though this most likely did not reflect factual loss of the position of the head of the pantheon in Hurrian religion, but only a mythological narrative. It is often assumed that he was an agricultural deity, though this view is not universally accepted and the evidence is limited.

An (en sumérien), Anu (en akkadien), était considéré dans la mythologie mésopotamienne comme le dieu du ciel, de la végétation ainsi que de la pluie ; il était vu comme le père des dieux. Il habitait un royaume dans les cieux ; on disait de lui qu'il avait le pouvoir de juger tous les criminels. Il était notamment le père d'Enlil et d'Enki.
