Endnote 5 – When God Sleeps

The theme is less explicit in other versions of the Chaoskampf myth. These include the Ugaritic Baal epic (ANET, pp. 129–142), the Canaanite/Israelite myth reconstructed from diffuse allusions in the Bible, and the Egyptian story of Astarte and the Sea (ANET, pp. 16–17). More remote are the Egyptian text, the Repulsing of the Dragon (ANET, pp. 6–7), and the Hittite Illuyankas myth (ANET, pp. 125–126).
