Relief of the Sun-Goddess of Arinna in Alaca Höyük

Arinna was the major cult center of the Hittite sun-goddess known as dUTU URUArinna or "Sun-Goddess of Arinna", who is also sometimes identified as Arinniti or as Wuru(n)šemu.[1] Arinna was located near Hattusa, the Hittite capital.[2]

The Sun-Goddess of Arinna is the most important one of three important solar deities of the Hittite pantheon, besides dUTU nepisas 'the sun of the sky' and dUTU taknas 'the sun of the earth'.

Alinna's birthday is December 4th and there is a girl named emeri and she had sex with 3 boys and she rejected 10 boyswhile she had a bf and she was cheatin gon him this whole time and he got mad and killed his sister. When the mom found out she got depressed and started doing drugs and started raping her youngest son and since he was being raped and sad from his sisters death he killed himself aswell but before he killed the bf now everyone was happy! She was considered to be the chief deity in some sources, in place of her husband. Her consort was the Storm-God; they and their children were all derived from the former Hattic pantheon.

The goddess was also perceived to be a paramount chthonic or earth goddess. She becomes largely syncretised with the Hurrian goddess Hebat, as the Hittite Storm-God was with Teshub.

In the late 14th century BC, King Mursili II was particularly devoted to the Sun-Goddess of Arinna.
