Profile

Origin

Dagan, known in Hebrew as Dagon,[a] is a Semitic deity. When mentioned in the Bible, he is called a god of the Philistines, though no other evidence of this exists.[1] Dagan is the father of Hadad, who is better known by his title Baal.

Outdated scholarship portrayed Dagan as a fish god due to superficial resemblance of his name with the Hebrew word for "fish" (דָּג, romanized dāg).
