Belit is in Near Eastern mythology (Babylonian – Assyrian), wife of the great god Bel. Among her many titles were Ninkhar-sag (lady of the high or great mountain), referring to the mountain of the gods; Nin-lil (mistress of the lower world); Nunbar-Segunnu, goddess of agricultural fertility; Nisaba, goddess of wisdom; and Haya, goddess of direction. Belit was often equated with Ishtar.
