Yabarodmay, rendered in the Ugaritic text as Ybrdmy, is a beautiful
daughter of Athtart (Ashtart or Astarte, Her more
familiar Greek name) the great Goddess of Love and War, and Ba'al, the Storm
God. As told in The Marriage of Yarikh and Nikkal, dating from about
1400 BCE, Yarikh, the Moon God, approaches Khirkhibi, the God of Summer and
the father of the Orchard-Goddess Nikkal to ask for
Her hand in marriage. Khirkhibi is reluctant, and suggests that Yarikh instead
wed Pidraya or Yabarodmay, both daughters of Ba'al.
Yarikh refuses, having set His sights on Nikkal alone, and eventually Khirkhibi
relents and the two are wed.
Yabarodmay is sister to the Earth-God Athtar. Not much else is
known of Her, except that She is beautiful, and single at the time of the legend.
Also called: Yaparodmay, Ybrdmy.
