Hittite mythology is the collection of myths and religious beliefs of the ancient Hittite civilization, which thrived in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from the 17th to the 11th century BCE. It features a pantheon of gods and goddesses, including Tarhun, the storm god, and Hannahanna, the mother goddess. These deities were believed to influence natural phenomena and human affairs. The Hittites practiced rituals and ceremonies to honor their gods, often involving offerings and prayers. Their myths often explain the origins of the world, the seasons, and the relationship between gods and humans, reflecting the culture's values and understanding of the universe.
