About: Gupan and Ugar

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Gupan and Ugar (Ugaritic: gpn w ‘ugr) were two Ugaritic gods who functioned as the messengers of the weather god Baal. They always appear as a pair in known texts. They are well attested in the Baal Cycle, where they carry messages from their master to other deities, such as Anat, Kothar-wa-Khasis and Mot. However, they are absent from offering lists and other texts dealing with the sphere of cult, which lead to the proposal that they were only literary characters, rather than actively worshiped deities.
