[German version]

The goddess A., symbolized by the evening star, appears many times in the  Ugarit texts [1: 1. 43.1-8; 1. 47.25; 1. 92.2 and passim]. There are traits in her of the Babylonian Ištar. In Phoenician religion she is found in the panthea of Tyre (KAI 17) and Sidon (KAI 13; 14). There is evidence of her cult in the Mediterranean islands as far as Spain, and also in Israel. Her domains can be ascertained as love, fertility and war. In Hellenistic-Roman times she is subsumed with  Anat into the Dea  Syria.
