	Bel (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bel, signifying "lord" or "master", is a title rather than a genuine name, applied to various gods in Babylonian religion.
		Bel is represented in Greek and Latin by Belos and Belus respectively.
		Bel became especially used of the Babylonian god Marduk and when found in Assyrian and neo-Babylonian personal names or mentioned in inscriptions in Mesoptamian context it can usually be taken as referring to Marduk and no other god.

	Bel (mythology)
		Bel was the name of a chief deity in Babylonian religion, the counterpart of the Phoenician Baal ideographically written as En-lil.
		Since Bel signifies the "lord" or "master" par excellence, it is, therefore, a title rather than a genuine name, and must have been given to a deity who had acquired a position at the head of a pantheon.
		The older Bel did not, however, entirely lose his right to have any considerable political importance, while in addition the rise of the doctrine of a triad of gods symbolizing the three divisions--heavens, earth and water--assured to Bel, to whom the earth was assigned as his province, his place in the religious system.

		Inscriptions found at Nippur, where extensive excavations were carried on during 1888-1900 by Messrs Peters and Haynes, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, show that Bel of Nippur was in fact regarded as the head of an extensive pantheon.

		She is also designated as Nin-Khar-sag, " Lady of the mountain," which name stands in some relationship to Im-Khar-sag, " storm mountain " - the name of the staged tower or sacred edifice to Bel at Nippur.
		As the consort of En -lil, the goddess Nin-lil or Belit belongs to Nippur and her titles as " ruler of heaven and earth," and " mother of the gods " are all due to her position as the wife of Bel.
		While recognized by a temple of her own in Nippur and honoured by rulers at various times by having votive offerings made in her honour and fortresses dedicated in her name, she, as all other goddesses in Babylonia and Assyria with the single exception of Ishtar, is overshadowed by her male consort.
