Ugaritic Religion
Ugaritic religion is revealed through the architecture of the city’s temples, the mythological texts on cuneiform tablets and the cult objects recovered from the excavations. The Ugaritic pantheon included Baal, Dagon, and Astarte—all familiar names from the Bible. The ways in which the gods were worshipped are suggested by numerous stelae, cult stands, altars, and other objects, some of which are illustrated below.
