Ishara is a variant of Ishtar, Asheroth, Astarte, Isis, etal. They are not usually associated with the invention of language, although wisdom is usually attributed to all of them. The Greek mother goddess, Hera, is a European variant, 'Asian' or 'east' added to make As-hera. Usually the name means 'star' or some aspect. Teshub is also an Anatolian/Hurrian deity, a storm and lighting bolt predecessor of Teus/Zeus, Thor and others. The Lady Algol is a mystery to me, too, possibly one who greets the dead. It is remarkable how much of what we call 'classical' literature actually originated in Turkey right along with our alphabet (Hittites were inventors of vowels) and the concept of zero (zeriff-that which is above the other numbers) and such. Hope you both will continue research in this area. Poets not so long ago were well versed in the classics. American 'exceptionalism' attitudes forced us to abandon even the knowledge of other greatness. Thanks for the interest and encouragement.
