While in ritual texts she was often linked with Inar, in mythological context she instead could be designated as a helper of Kamrušepa or her husband Tiwad.
[7] However, Haas pointed out that her gender is confirmed by a ritual text from Maşat Höyük, HKM 116, which refers to her as with the feminine title "queen of remedies", waššiyaš MUNUS.LUGAL-aš.
[10] Ḫapantali has been described as a "shepherd goddess",[10] a characterization supported by her portrayal in myths, where she is responsible for a herd of sheep belonging to the Luwian sun god Tiwaz.
[22] Examples where she appears as one of the divine witnesses include the treaties between Šuppiluliuma I and rulers such as Huqqana of Hayasa,[23] Shattiwaza of Mittanni[24] and Tette of Nuhašše,[25] between Muršili II and Tuppi-Teshub [de] of Amurru,[26] Niqmepa of Ugarit[27] and Manapa-Tarhunta of the Seha River,[28] between Ḫattušili III and Ulmi-Teshub of Tarḫuntašša,[29] and between Tudḫaliya IV and Kurunta, another ruler of the same polity.
[31] In myths, Ḫapantali typically acts as an assistant of Kamrušepa, in contrast with her connection with Inar documented in other sources.
[3] She could also be associated with Kamrušepa's husband, the Luwian sun god Tiwaz, and she takes care of his sheep in the myth of Telipinu's disappearance.
[32] In the myth The Moon that Fell from Heaven, also known as When the Storm God thunders Frightfully,[33] Ḫapantali appears to recite a spell after the events described in the title.
