Hadad

Hadad (Ugaritic 𐎅𐎄𐎆 Haddu) is a Northwest Semitic storm and rain deity, cognate in name and origin with the earlier attested East Semitic Akkadian (Assyrian-Babylonian) deity Adad. Hadad was also called "Pidar", "Rapiu", "Baal-Zephon", or often simply Baʿal (Lord), but this title was also used for other deities. The bull was the symbolic animal of Hadad. He appeared bearded, often holding a club and thunderbolt while wearing a bull-horned headdress. Hadad was equated with the Indo-European Nasite Hittite storm-deity Teshub; the Egyptian deity Set; the Greek deity Zeus; and the Roman deity Jupiter, as Jupiter Dolichenus.
