Inara or Inar, in Hittite mythology, was the goddess of the wild animals of the steppe and daughter of the Storm-god Teshub/Tarhunt.
After the dragon Illuyanka wins an encounter with the storm god, the latter asks Inara to give a feast, most probably the Purulli festival.
[2] Inara decides to use the feast to lure and defeat Illuyanka, who was her father's archenemy, and enlists the aid of a mortal named Hupasiyas of Zigaratta by becoming his lover.
The dragon and his family gorge themselves on the fare at the feast, becoming quite drunk, which allows Hupasiyas to tie a rope around them.
It is not known what happened next, but there is speculation[3] that Inara killed Hupasiyas for disobeying her,[1] or for hubris,[4] or that he was allowed to return to his family.
