the king of Alashiya enjoyed a privileged position in the sphere of Egypt’s foreign relations, but at the same time acknowledged the pharaoh’s higher rank. He also complained to pharaoh that the Lukki (an Anatolian people, perhaps from the region of classical Lycia) raided his country annually, just as they did in Egypt.

we might conclude that Ishtar (or, more correctly, her Cypriot counterpart) was a prominent goddess on Cyprus. Based on the iconography of Cypriot figurines, Budin questions the notion of syncretism between Cypriot and Levantine deities, and instead suggests that the Cypriotes originally may have adopted a Levantine goddess (Ishtar and/or Athtart), then adjusted her iconography and attributes (e.g. with kourotrophos imagery) to accommodate their own, Cypriot worldview.
