The authors of this text are Johannes C. de Moor and Klaas Spronk and it appeared in Ugarit-Forschungen 16 (1984): 237–250.
Considering I've never run across a study of demons and "lesser" mythological beings from Ugarit, this is something that seems very interesting to me, and I'd appreciate the help, if anyone would be able to provide some information related to this.

hukkana - Yes, I'm quite interested this article to! hadn't been aware of it. Unfortunately after coming my digital sources (which are extensive), I suspect that the volume in question has yet to be digitalised, my be able to get hands on a physical copy at some point.

Unfortunately after coming my digital sources (which are extensive), I suspect that the volume in question has yet to be digitalised, my be able to get hands on a physical copy at some point. It would be greatly appreciated at some point : D What I did find on the subject is argumentation for including Atika as a nother form of serpentine monster like Tunnanu, and by extension listing the other creatures from Anat's proclamation as seperate entities as well. These being "Naharu, the great god. Tunnanu The twisting serpent, the coiled one with seven heads. The beloved of Ilu, Arišu The calf of Ilu, Atiku The bitch of Ilu, Ištu The daughter of Ilu, Ḏabbi…." " (Source is A Study of the Serpent Incantation KTU2 1.82: 1–7 and its Contributions to Ugaritic Mythology and Religion by Adam E. Miglio) Now as much as this is completely unprovoked speculation on my part, the fact that the "daughter of El" is mentioned among serpent monsters in league with Yamm (the Sea) can't help but remind me of Lamaštu, the daughter of Anu. |

I've found a translation for the names listed above, in KTU 1.3 III 37-47, The Storm God versus the Sea, Daniel Sarlo
* Desire, beloved of El
* Rebel, calf of El
* Fire, dog of El
* Flame, daughter of El

Wow, you've cited Dan Sarlo!  He and I are long time study partners at the Uni. so coincidence. I'm assuming you googled these terms and found him on academia.edu? |
