Perhaps the devotion of the Assyrians to Nin--the tutelary god of their kings and of their capital--who in so many respects resembled Hoa, caused the worship of Hoa to decline and that of Nin gradually to supersede it.
MYLITTA, or BELTIS.
Beltis, the "Great Mother," the feminine counterpart of Bel, ranked in Assyria next to the Triad consisting of Anu, Bel, and Hoa.

She is generally mentioned in close connection with Bel, her husband, in the Assyrian records.

She appears to have been regarded in Assyria as especially "the queen of fertility," or "fecundity," and so as "the queen of the lands," thus resembling the Greek Demeter, who, like Beltis, was known as: "the Great Mother." Sargon placed one of his gates under the protection of Beltis in conjunction with her husband, Bel: and Asshur-bani-pal, his great-grandson, repaired and rededicated to her a temple at Nineveh, which stood on the great mound of Koyunjik.

She had another temple at Asshur, and probably a third at Calah.

She seems to have been really known as Beltis in Assyria, and as Mylitta (Mulita) in Babylonia, though we should naturally have gathered the reverse from the extant classical notices.
SIN, or THE MOON.
Sin, the Moon-god, ranked next to Beltis in Assyrian mythology, and his place is thus either fifth or sixth in the full lists, according as Beltis is, or is not, inserted.
