Yarikh (Deity)

Yarikh, sometimes Yareah, was a moon deity who was first married to the sun goddess Shapash but later married the goddess Nikkal. One of Yarikh's epithets were "illuminator of the heavens", "illuminator of the Myriads of Stars" and "Lord of the Sickle" which means he was associated with not just the moon but also the stars and sickle. Yarikh's main center of worship was Jericho.

The death god Mot kidnapped the sun goddess, Shapash, and Yarikh bringing them to the underworld where Anat, goddess of war, comes in their rescue whereupon she is challenged by Mot. In each round (totaling ten rounds) Mot is able to make love with Anat. The game ends with Anat's victory thus both the sun and moon are saved.
