The West Semitic god of plague and war, the archer whose arrows bring pestilence; equated by the Greeks with Apollo (Reshef-Mikal = Apollo Amyklos at Idalion, Cyprus, 388 BCE). Shares origin with the eastern Phoenician Reshef (corpus id phoenician_resheph); authored here as the inherited god of the wider Phoenician-Punic sphere. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: per Xella there is NO secure evidence for a Reshef cult in the Punic cities themselves — older claims of a 'Punic Reshef' rest on misreadings (of ʿrš 'Eresh' and of rš 'Baal of the cape'); his firm Phoenician-Punic-world attestation is eastern/Cypriot (Kition, Idalion). He is included as a real, citable figure but his Carthaginian presence is NOT over-claimed. SOLITARY: no Punic kinship attested. The Apollo interpretatio is recorded here, not wired as a relation (counterpart not in this batch). On the literature: the first monograph is Fulco (1976); the dedicated Lipiński study is Resheph (2009); Xella's treatment is the DDD entry (1999); the current standard overall is Münnich (2013).
