The Hurrian myth of Teshub's origin—he was conceived when the god Kumarbi bit off and swallowed his father Anu's genitals—is a likely inspiration for the story of Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus, which is recounted in Hesiod's Theogony. - Isn't it possible that they both derive from a common source, rather than that the Hurrian myth inspired the other?

==I will tell you very important thing about Teshub. In Kurdish Teshup means "Axe". When I look at Teshup he is holding an axe. This is how he got his name. Teshub might be etnically Kurdish. Very interesting.

The hurrian god Teshub is also the god of luwians and hittities with names Tarhun as well.
