'''アパリウナス'''(ヒッタイト語:𒀀𒀊𒉺𒇷𒌋𒈾𒀸 ''Āppaliunāš'')は、ヒッタイト語条約でウィルサの守り神として証言されている神の名前である。アパリウナスはヒッタイト語の*Apeljōn([[アポローン]]の初期形)の反射と考えられ、これはキプロス語のἈπείλων(Apeílōn) とドーリア語のἈπέλλων (Apéllōn) との比較からも推定される<ref>John L.

'''Apaliunas''' ([[Hittite language|Hittite]]: 𒀀𒀊𒉺𒇷𒌋𒈾𒀸 ''Āppaliunāš'') is the name of a god, attested in a [[Hittite language]] treaty as a protective deity of [[Wilusa]]. Apaliunas is considered to be the Hittite reflex of ''*Apeljōn'', an early form of the name [[Apollo]], which may also be surmised from comparison of [[Arcadocypriot|Cypriot]] {{lang|grc|Ἀπείλων}} (''Apeílōn'') with [[Doric Greek|Doric]] {{lang|grc|Ἀπέλλων}} (''Apéllōn'').<ref>{{cite book| author = John L.

Apaliunas is among the gods who guarantee a treaty drawn up about 1280 BCE between [[Alaksandu]] of Wilusa, interpreted as "[[Paris (mythology)|Alexander]] of [[Troy|Ilios]]" and the great Hittite king,<ref>Latacz 2001:138.</ref> [[Muwatalli II]]. He is one of the three deities named on the side of the city. In [[Homer]], Apollo is the builder of the walls of Ilium, a god on the Trojan side. A [[Luwian language|Luwian]] etymology suggested for ''Apaliunas'' makes Apollo "The One of Entrapment", perhaps in the sense of "Hunter".<ref>{{cite book| author = Sara Anderson Immerwahr|author2=Anne Proctor.
