History[edit | edit source]
Ashtar, also known as Attarm, Athtar, and Astar, is an astral god of Semitic lore. He is mentioned in inscriptions from the Ethiopian Axum Empire, dating around 200-400 AD. In certain regions of western Asia he was known as a rain god. Ashtar is considered a male counterpart to Astarte (or Ishtar) with the two being associated with war and Venus. One of his symbols was the spear-point and the antelope was his sacred animal. In Canaanite lore he was a god of Irrigation who attempted to usurp the throne of Baal but had found he was unable to do so, and so descended to rule of the underworld.
