Adamma
Eblaite · deity · eblaite 3rd millennium bce · deity
Adamma was a goddess worshipped at Ebla in the third millennium BCE, where she appears as the wife of Rasap (Resheph); the two were given offerings together on numerous occasions and were venerated jointly at the nearby towns of Hadani and Tunip. This consort-relationship is specific to the Eblaite corpus and does not recur in later traditions, where Adamma is otherwise documented in Hurrian sources and at Emar, often paired with the goddess Kubaba rather than with Resheph. Archi links her name tentatively to a root meaning 'blood/red' but regards its ultimate origin as uncertain.
