Syro-Palestinian Deities in New Kingdom Egypt

This work investigates the ways in which six Syro-Palestinian deities - Baal, Reshef, Hauron, Anat, Astarte and Qadesh - were integrated into the Egyptian pantheon in three contexts: royal scenes, personal religion and amalgamation with Egyptian indigenous deities. Its methodology is drawn from two anthropological theories - the 'tributary relationship', and 'translative adaptation'.
