Canaanite mythology is the collection of myths and tales from the ancient Canaanites who inhabited the land of Canaan (modern-day Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Syria) in the Bronze Age. The stories revolve around the gods and goddesses of their pantheon, such as Baal, El, and Anat. Synonyms for Canaanite mythology include Canaanite religion, Canaanite pantheon, and West Semitic mythology. These terms describe the same cultural and religious practices of the Canaanites. Canaanite mythology also shares similarities with other West Semitic mythologies, such as those of the Phoenicians and the Amorites, further highlighting the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern cultures.
