Abstract
In some Indo-European myths river deities *dānu- (cf. *dā- «to flow», suffixed *dānu- «river», *dānawo-) are opposed to the gods/heroes whose names may be associated with *Hner(t)- (*h2ner-) «virile strength, man». The *Hner-men fight against the *dānu-s and wed *dānu- women. 1. India. The Dnavas (children of Dnu) headed by Bali are the adversaries of the Devas headed by Indra (*Hnro- ?). 2. Ossetia. The water god Donbettyr (Watery Peter, cf. don «river», *dānu-) and his descendants constitute the race of Donbettyrs. The great narts (cf. *Hner-t-) wed the daughters of Donbettyrs. 3. Armenia. The manly (ari < *Hner-) Hayk, founder of Armenia, kills the Babylonian tyrant Bel. 4. Greece. Poseidon's son Bēlos begets Aigyptos and Danaos. Fifty sons of Aigyptos marry fifty daughters of Danaos (Danaids). Trojan Paris-Alexandros (*Hnro-) abducts Helenē from Greek Danaoi. 5.. Wales. The goddess Dфn (*dānu-) can be regarded as the wife of Beli, god of Death. 6. Iceland. The god Freyr, son of Njцrрr (*Hner-t-) kills the giant Beli. 7. Arm. Bel and Gk. Bēlos are derived from the Semitic b'l «lord». Not everything is clear in the etymologies of Ind. Bali, Celt. and Norse Beli; nevertheless, they may be related to Bel and Belos. The mythic *dānu-s might be associated with a real West Semitic tribe, worshippers of Baal, cf. the Israelite tribe of Dan, Luw. Danuna, Phoen. Dnnym.
