Eskiçağ Yakın Doğu ve Hellen Toplumlarında “Gök Tanrısı” İnancı
"The Sky God" Belief In The Ancient Near East And Hellen Societies

Summary/Abstract: The gods was thought by ancient societies in the sky, different societies gave different names and functions to these gods according to their own insights and imagination. In the first belief systems that began to form very soon, the gods of the sky and nature began to occupy the most important places in the world of faith, and for many different reasons, the idea of the sacredness of the sky was found in the mythological elements and legends of the first civilised societies like Sumer, Babylonia, Hurrians and Hellenes. These myths and beliefs about the celestial gods, which first examples were seen in Sumerians, spread throughout the Near East geography as a result of centuries of social interactions. The gods such as Anu, Teshup and Zeus were worshiped as chief gods generally in the pantheons which were developed by the societies of the region.
