Telepinu (god)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Hittite king, see Telepinu.
Telepinu was the Hittite god of farming. He was the son of the weather and fertility god according to their mythology. In one story, he grew angry at the world and set out for the world, causing the crops to fail. Hannahannas, the mother goddess, sent a bee to find him; when the bee did, stinging Telepinu and smearing wax on him, the god grew angry and began to wreak destruction on the world. Finally, Kamrusepa, goddess of magic, calmed Telepinu by giving his anger to the Doorkeeper of the Underworld. (see the Telepinu Myth)
