source to evaluate

Here is the link to a 2010 or so doctoral thesis that should be used at the very least for its alternative viewpoint on Kumarbi and related articles. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/817439/1/817439.pdf 71.163.117.143 (talk) 13:09, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hittite mythology

In the article about Anu, we can read the following

"In ancient Hittite religion, Anu is a former ruler of the gods, who was overthrown by his son Kumarbi, who bit off his father's genitals and gave birth to the storm god Teshub. Teshub overthrew Kumarbi, avenged Anu's mutilation, and became the new king of the gods. This story was the later basis for the castration of Ouranos in Hesiod's Theogony".

In this article, however, Halki is stated to be the Hittite equivalent to Kumarbi. Which page is incorrect? Was this god called Kumarbi or Halki in Hittite? Oddeivind (talk) 13:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
