  • Chiara Mafucci

This study examines the 13th-century BC Hittite ritual for Ištar of Nineveh. To end a plague, King Muršili II evoked this foreign goddess, showcasing religious contamination. It reveals how Hittite society pragmatically integrated external cults to manage local health and social crises.
