Dagon
Dagon or Dagan (Sumerian: ๐ญ๐๐ถ, romanized: dda-gan; Phoenician: ๐ค๐ค๐ค, romanized: Dฤgฤn) was a god worshipped in ancient Syria, across the middle of the Euphrates, with primary temples located in Tuttul and Terqa, though many attestations of his cult come from cities such as Mari and Emar as well. In settlements situated in the upper Euphrates area, he was regarded as the "father of gods" similar to Mesopotamian Enlil or Hurrian Kumarbi, as well as a lord of the land, a god of prosperity, and a source of royal legitimacy.
