INTRO PANTHEON EXPLORE FIND GODS A-Z INDEX Canaanite mythology › Canaanite pantheon ANATH Ugaritic War Goddess Also known as Anat Goddess of Love, Fertility and War She’s also Mrs Baal as well as being his sister.Anath caused a lot of hassle by wishing to appropriate a very special bow belonging to a mortal called Aqhat. Being a bit of a bitch, she zapped him to the Underworld, but he wouldn’t let go of the bow and it went with him. This caused no end of problems as it was actually a sky bow which held up the Heavens. So the sky collapsed and Anath had to eat humble pie and ask El to sort it all out — partly through embarrassment and partly because she was going bow-legged under the weight of the sky. She then appears to have emigrated to Egypt under the name Anat.
