middle prong, while the two side prongs are wavy.” The prongs are usually zig- 
zag rather than wavy; and the middle prong is not straight. Dr. Bonavia seems 
to have confounded the thunderbolt with the caduceus often carried by Ishtar, 
and less often by a male deity. This we have seen in Chapter xxv. 
The bellowing bull was probably related to Adad to represent thunder, just as 
the god’s weapon represented lightning. This deity, who is also the Hittite Teshub, 
became the Jupiter Dolichenus later worshiped in the Hittite region, who had a 
shrine near Aintab; see Roscher, s.v. “ Dolichenus”’ (fig. 471). This shows how each 
nation in adopting another nation’s god changed its weapons and style. The Baby- 
lonian-Adad carries thunderbolts while the Hittite Teshub carries other weapons.
