In the month of Tebet, the tenth month, there was celebrated a festival of mourning for the lost En-meshara. It is the time of the winter solstice. A similar fate must have overtaken Belit-seri, Girra, and Gil. For a time, at least, they are hidden in the realm of Allatu.
Tammuz, of whose position in this pantheon we have already had occasion to speak, is the god of spring vegetation.
