Le rituel de Walkui (KBo 32.176): quelques réflexions sur la déesse de la nuit et l'image du porc dans le monde hittite [Elektronische Daten] [Alice Mouton] 1. Walkui is a priest of the deity called dingir ge. This latter has to be identified with the <<goddess of the night>>, a kind of Šaušga. She is probably a star - or a deity represented by a star -, like her Mesopotamian homonyms the <<gods of the night>>. 2. Walkui's ritual seems to refer to the impurity of pork meat. The ancient Anatolian image of the pig has two antinomic facets: on the one hand, this animal is related to the notion of fertility and is bred and eaten by a part of the Hittite population. On the other hand, as a creature linked to the Netherworld, the pig is regarded as impure and seems taboo in some circumstances - at least in Kizzuwatna where Walkui's ritual comes from. © Walter de Gruyter Zeitschrift für Assyrologie und vorderasiatische Archäologie Walter de Gruyter 94/1(2004-07-19), 85-105 0084-5299 94:1<85 2004 94 zava https://doi.org/10.1515/zava.94.1.85 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/zava.94.1.85 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Mouton Alice 1 Paris/Leyde NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Zeitschrift für Assyrologie und vorderasiatische Archäologie Walter de Gruyter 94/1(2004-07-19), 85-105 0084-5299 94:1<85 2004 94 zava CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
