Danel ( , Ugaritic: ππππ DNα»L , "El is judge"), father of Aqhat, was a culture hero who appears in an incomplete Ugaritic text of the fourteenth century BCE at Ugarit (now Ras Shamra), Syria. ==Tale of Aqhat== The text in Corpus Tablettes AlphabΓ©tiques [CTA] 17β19 is often referred to as the Tale of Aqhat. Danel was depicted as "judging the cause of the widow, adjudicating the case of the fatherless" in the city gate. He passed through trials: his son Aqhat was destroyed but apparently in the missing conclusion was revived or replaced by Danel's patron god, RpΚΌu, who sits and judges with Hadad and Astarte and was likely considered to be the equivalent of El. The text was published and translated in 19361 by Charles Virolleaud and has been extensively analysed since then.
