'''Šauškaシャウシュカ''' (('''Shaushka'''), also called )は、フルリ人の神殿において最高位の女神で、愛と'''Šauša戦争''' or '''Šawuška''', was the highest ranked goddess in the [[Hurrian religion|Hurrian]] pantheon, associated with love and war, as well as with incantations and by extension with healing. While she was usually referred to as a goddess and with feminine titles, such as ''allai'' ([[Hurrian language|Hurrian]]: "lady"), references to masculine Shaushka are also known. The Hurrians associated her with [[Nineveh]], but she was also worshiped in many other centers associated with this culture, from Anatolian cities in [[Kizzuwatna]], through [[Alalakh]] and [[Ugarit]] in [[Syria (region)|Syria]], to [[Nuzi]] and Ulamme in northeastern [[Mesopotamia]]. 、そして呪術、ひいては治癒に関連した神だった。シャウシュカは通常、女神とされ、「アライ(allai)」(フルリ語:「貴婦人(lady)」)のような女性名詞で呼ばれたが、男性名詞のシャウシュカも知られている。フルリ人は彼女をニネベと関連付けていたが、アナトリアの都市キズワトナからシリアのアララクとウガリット、北東メソポタミアのヌジとウランメまでシャウシュカ女神の文化と関連した他の多くの拠点で、女神は崇拝された。 She was also worshiped in southern Mesopotamia, where she was introduced alongside a number of other foreign deities in the [[Third Dynasty of Ur|Ur III period]]. In this area, she came to be associated with [[Ishtar]]. At a later point in time, growing Hurrian influence on [[Hittites|Hittite]] culture resulted in the adoption of Shaushka into the Hittite state pantheon.
In Hurrian myths, many of which are only known from their Hittite translations, Shaushka commonly appears either as an ally of her brother [[Teshub]], or as a heroine in her own right. Specific narratives describe her battles against the sea monster [[Ḫedammu]], the diorite giant [[Ullikummi]], the sea god [[Kiaše]] and the mountain god [[Pišaišapḫi]]. She also appears in a myth about Hašarri, a personified olive tree, who needs to be protected by her from various threats.
