	Bel (god) - Biocrawler
		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
		Bel, god of thieves, appears in some versions of the Shemitish myth-cycle, and his rather peripheral episodes are thought to be later additions to the myth.
		Bel is worshipped, however; the Zuagir nomads and the thieves of Asgalun point to his exploits to prove that their nefarious acts are blessed by the gods.
		Bel is worshipped, or at least paid lip service, by all who "earn" their living as thieves, outlaws and beggars.

	The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, Theophilus G. Pinches - Section 4 of 7 - Book Club/Religion - ArcaMax Publishing
		Being, like Ea, a god of the earth, he is regarded as having formed a trinity with Anu, the god of heaven, and Ea, the god of the deep, and prayer to these three was as good as invoking all the gods of the universe.
		He was the great messenger of the gods, and is variously given as "the offspring of the abyss, the creation of Ea," and "the likeness of his father, the first-born of Bel." As Gibil, the fire-god, has likewise the same diverse parentage, it is regarded as likely that these two gods were identical.
		This god was duly sent, but was not at all inclined to be submissive, for instead of killing him, as she had threatened, Eres- ki-gal found herself seized by the hair and dragged from her throne, whilst the death-dealing god made ready to cut off her head.

	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Bel (god) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

		BEL: A great Babylonian god, whose name, like the equivalent Hebrew Ba‘al, originally and all through the history of the language was also used in the sense of "lord" or "owner" (see Baal).
		The reason why there were not many Bels in Babylonia was that political union on a large scale was very early effected in that country, while it was always impossible among the Canaanites; and Nippur was the center of an extensive community in very remote times.
		The Babylonian Bel was not only adopted by the Assyrians as one of their chief gods (of course lower than Asshur), but like Ishtar (see Ashtoreth), Sin, and Nebo, he seems to have obtained worshipers in the West-land.

	Bel and the Dragon
		When Bel's priests are challenged to prove it, they allow the king to place the food in the temple and seal the door.
		Whereas Bel is nothing more than a man-made statue, a fact which is easily demonstrated by its inability to eat, the dragon is manifestly a living creature and does eat.
		The composition of Bel and the Dragon was inspired not by persecution but by the perennial problem of living as a minority, monolatrous culture in an idol-worshipping world.

		It appears that almost everybody wants to invoke the god of bel canto to decry, perhaps, a certain job of bad singing, or on the other hand, to extol a certain artist's splendid instrument and his or her exemplary vocalism.
		The bel canto aesthetic may then be expressed as follows: bel canto is a school of composing in which the music is reduced to the barest essentials, a tune or line which carries the full burden of the meaning and only as much of whatever else is necessary to complete it.
		Bel canto, is, in summary, that music which is deliberately stripped of all non-essentials in order that the performer may reveal in it that greatest of essentials, content.

		They wished to worship the gods with even greater veneration, and gave them stars (as if they owned the stars!): the seven stars, that is, the sun and the moon and the other five, which always travel against the sky toward the east, though the heaven is always turning them backwards.
		And for as long as he was hammering the half-made god and fiercely carving out its eye with a stylus,[12] the image held no terror for him; but as soon as it was finished he worshipped it as a god.
		Then the god was driven out of the foul image by the holy man who stayed the night there, and he could not answer the poor priest through the image as he had done before.

	A Who's Who of World Mythology : Ba'al and Baalat

		Baal-Hammon or Aleyn-Baal was the chief fertility god of Carthage.
		He was chiefly a fertility god however, a theory borne out in the Roman appellation of Frugifer or “Fruit-bearer.” One of the main practices of his worship was the sacrifice of children, both in Sicily and North Africa.

	Introduction to the Books of the Apocrypha: Bel & the Dragon
		Cyrus worshipped the god Bel, the great Babylonian god who was supplied daily with "twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six firkins of wine" (about 54 gallons).
		It displeased Cyrus that Daniel would not worship Bel, for that he was a living god was proved by the amount of food and drink that he consumed daily.
		The obvious purpose of both stories is to illustrate the folly of idolatry, especially of identifying the god with his image, and also to show forth the power of the One and only God and His solicitude for His faithful servant.

		The word "Beltane" literally means "bright" or "brilliant fire," and refers to the bonfires lit by a presiding Druid in honor of the proto-Celtic god variously known as Bel, Beli, Balar, Balor or Belenus.
		Bel, the god of light, fire and healing, had Sun-like qualities, but was not purely a Sun god, as the Celts were not specifically Sun worshippers.
		They celebrated Beltaine with dancing, feasting, and "greenwood marriages." Men and women would disappear into the woods throughout the night for their own personal celebrations; these being understood to be unions through which the Horned God impregnated the Goddess and brought fertility to the earth, through the physical forms of man and woman.
