deities whom we shall consider in the succeeding chapters. The goddess, carefully 
exposing her nudity, is probably Ishkhara, or Khalan (Sayce). Of the two gods, 
that to the right is Teshub, or Adab, with weapon over his head, and that to the left 
the more dignified god, perhaps Khaldis or Tarkhu. These deities, with the other 
personages and objects represented, we shall observe and consider as they appear 
on other cylinders. For the classical accounts of the deities worshiped in Phrygia, 
etc., the goddess Ma, the god Men and the youth Attis, as well as the local Greek 
inscriptions, reference must be made to Roscher and special papers, but these are 
of a later date and represent an even more syncretistic mythology. It would be 
beyond the purpose of this work to develop the relations of the later to the earlier 
conceptions. It is enough here to attempt to gather the artistic material out of 
which the student of comparative mythology can draw his identifications, as one 
deity passed into later and often alien forms.
