Where Is My Question?

[Spoonboy]

I put a question on earlier but it is not there; unless, it became an answer to another question!

Let me try again: I am doing a survey, just for fun, to see how many of you can think of the names of gods, goddesses, nymphs, divine heroes etc in the pantheon of all ancient religions before the rise of Christianity and Islam? Can you do it without looking at a book or the internet?

I will start you off with one: Kubaba, originally the local goddess of Carchemish - Hurrian/Hittite religion.

Have fun. And thanks in advance.
