Pirwa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the mountain in Peru, see Pirwa (Peru).
Pirwa (or Peruwa) is a Hittite deity whose nature is poorly understood. He/she is sometimes referred to as "queen", though archaeologists believe he/she was a male god.
The name may derive from the Hittite peruna or "cliff", and the Pirwa worship seems to have involved horses and horse-related symbols.
