dc.description.abstractPerhaps the major duty of the Great King of the Hittites was to serve as the Chief Priest of all of the gods of the land, particularly of its preeminent deities, the Storm-god of Heaven and the Sun-goddess of the city of Arinna. His centrality to the state religion and closeness to these divinities are expressed in numerous texts. Nonetheless, during the execution of most cultic rites, the ruler, while indeed the focus of attention, is led through the performance by religious professionals.en_US
