Abstract

Hayvanlar, yaşamı paylaştığı insan ile sözsüz bir iletişim kurarak onun anlam dünyasında çeşitli özellikler yüklenir. Bu bağlamda Hitit metinleri de hayvanlara ve onlara atfedilen özelliklere sıkça yer vererek insanın kendi gerçekliğiyle tanımlayamadığı duyguları hayvanların doğası üzerinden aktarır. Hititler için hayvancılık yalnızca ekonomik bir faaliyet değildir. Hem evcilleştirilmiş hem de yabani hayvanların taşıdıkları anlam, kültürün şekillenmesinde de etkili olmuştur. Onlar için hayvanlar kimi zaman besin kaynağı kimi zaman çeşitli tanrıların yeryüzündeki temsilcisi kimi zaman da arkaik duygulara tercüman olan aracılardır. Bu nedenle metinlerin hayvan sembolizmi açısından değerlendirilmesi Hitit kültürüne dair çıkarımlar yapmamıza olanak sağlar. Bu çalışma, Hitit metinlerinde geçen yabani hayvanlar arasında yer alan ve genellikle UR.BAR.RA Sümerogramıyla yazılan kurdun sembolik ve sembolik olmayan kullanımları ile dini metinlerde geçen görevlilerden kurt adamların (LÚ.MEŠ UR.BAR.RA) Hitit kültündeki yerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır

The Wolf and the Wolf-Men in Hittite Culture

Abstract

Animals use a nonverbal communication, and they are assigned many various features in the semantic world of humans. Hittite texts often mention animals as well as their characteristics and use various expressions or similes that allow them to convey the emotions or describe particular situations. For the Hittites, husbandry was not just an economic activity. The meanings ascribed to both domesticated and wild animals have also been effective in shaping their culture. Animals were not only a source of food but also many gods were conceived in form of specific animals. Therefore, it is possible to single out some inferences about the Hittite culture by examining the texts in terms of animal symbolism. This study aims to investigate the symbolic and non-symbolic expressions of the wolf (UR.BAR.RA) in the texts and the place of the Wolf-men (LÚ.MEŠUR.BAR.RA) in Hittite cult.
