Ugar
Canaanite · deity · mythic · Recorded classification
Ugar is a field with legs. He never appears without Gupan and he has no independent mythology, which is exactly the situation of a messenger in this literature: the office is what is recorded, not the person. His name is the word for a field, and it is the same element that names the city whose tablets preserve all of this.
