[297] See [Pl. XLIX.] from Liverpool Annals of Archæology, i. (1908), Pls. IV., V. More recently Mr. Hogarth (ibid., 1909, Pl. XLI.) has secured a new set of photographs which show the details much clearer.
[298] Cf. the head-dress of the god at Boghaz-Keui, Pls. [LXV.], [LXXI.]
[299] He corresponds, Professor Sayce points out, with the Syrian Hadad, who similarly stands on the back of a bull which he guides with a cord. Cf. also the statement of Lucian (De Dea Syria), that the chief god of Hierapolis, which replaced Carchemish, was supported on a bull. On the position of the god in the Hittite Pantheon, see [p. 359].
