Jupiter, Venus and Mercury of Heliopolis (Baalbek)

Many conceptions about the well-known gods of Heliopolis-Baalbek are so firmly established to be almost treated as received wisdom: that they formed a familial “triad”, that Jupiter and/or Mercury were worshipped as sun gods, that Jupiter was the equivalent of Hadad and his cult image based on an id...
