>Originally, like Merodach, Adar had been a solar deity. We are distinctly told that he was the meridian sun, whose scorching heats represented the fiercer side of Baal- worship. But whereas Merodach was the sun conceived of as rising from the ocean-stream, Adar was the sun who issues forth from the shades of night. His wife accordingly is "the lady of the dawn." Like all solar deities in Babylonia, an oracle mas attached to his shrine. His name is explained to mean " the lord of the oracle," and one of his titles mas '[the voice" or supreme." It was on this account that later mythologists identified him with Nwbo, though between the Sun-god of Nipur and the prophet-deity of Borsippa there was originally no sort of connection. On the other hand, it must have been his solar character that gave rise to the two curious titles of 'lord of the date" and "lord of the pig". The latter title mas naturally dropped in the Semitic period of Chaldæan history

>W. A. I. ii. 57,39. In K 161, i. 8, one of the remedies prescribed for disease of the heart is siru AN Nin-pes, "swine's flesh." Rimmon, when worshipped as Mâtu (Martu), was also known as khumuntsir, the Accadised form of the Semitic khumtsiru, "a pig" (W. A. 1. iii 68, 70). >The title "lord of the pig" connects Adar with the Ares of Greek mythology, who in the form of the wild boar slew the Sun-god Tammuz; while the title "lord of the date" - the chief fruit of Babylonia - reminds us of Cain, who was "a tiller of the ground." Under the name of Baru, Adar was identified with iron, since the name of "iron" was denoted in Accadian by bar, "the shining" (see W.A.I. v. 30, 52), which was written with the determinative of divinity, indicative of the meteoric origin of the first imn worked in Babylonia
