II. Deity.
Lamma (Lamassu) was regarded as a good goddess, patroness and intercessor, ensuring prosperous fortunes, mental and physical health, and good condition of temples, cities, and countries; venerated in Lagash and a number of other places [AHw, 532; CAD L, 60-66; MNM II, 36; RlA 6, 449; Tallqvist 1938, 117-118, 346]. The mythology explaining its association with Vega is unknown. In AN:dAnum (IV 156) Lamma is identified with Inanna (=Venus?): d(la.ma.su)KAL = ŠU(= dInanna.ke4) [Litke 1998, 159:156]. On the deity Urmashum see. [Kraus 1951, 82]. On the connection of Lamma with the Pleiades (ŠA d7.BI dLAMMA "Lamma of the Seven Gods") see [Kraus 1951, 82]. [Reiner 1995, 86, note 355].

I. Источники. EAE. См. [Borger 1973, LB 1321 r. 26′]. MUL.APIN. Список звезд Энлиля (№ 25): MUL ne2-bu-u2 ša2 mulUZ3 dLAMMA SUKKAL dBa-U2 «Звезда с большим блеском в Козе: Ламма, посланник Бабы» (I i 26) [MA, 26]; параллель: dKal.kal.dBa.u2 = ˹lamma˺ dBa.u2.ke4 [Litke 1998, 174:61]. Список звезд VR 46, 1:17. mulLam-mu sukkal dBa.u2 = dUr-ma-šum sukkal dGu-la «Ламму, посланник Бабы = Урмашум, посланник Гулы» [HBA, 51; Wee 2016, 162–3]. II. Божество. Ламма (Ламассу) считалась доброй богиней, покровительницей и заступницей, обеспечивающей благополучную судьбу, душевное и физическое здоровье, хорошее состояние храмов, городов и стран; почиталась в Лагаше и ряде других мест [AHw, 532; CAD L, 60-66; МНМ II, 36; RlA 6, 449; Tallqvist 1938, 117–118, 346]. Мифологема, объясняющая ее связь с Вегой, неизвестна. В AN:dAnum (IV 156) Ламма отождествляется с Инанной (=Венера?): d(la.ma.su)KAL = ŠU(= dInanna.ke4) [Litke 1998, 159:156]. О божестве Урмашум см. [Kraus 1951, 82]. О связи Ламмы с Плеядами (ŠA d7.BI dLAMMA «Ламма Семи богов») см. [Reiner 1995, 86, note 355]. В одном астрологическом предсказании Ворон определяется как посланник Ламмы (ulug5.ga sukkal ulKAL) [Borger 1973, 41: 26′], см. u11UGA, VI 13. III. Отождествление. = α Lyrae [G. 145, I C; BPO 2, 13; MA, 138: 25; ASM, 273]. |
