About Peruna
Peruna, a Hittite-Hurrian name, stems from the words "pirṷa" and "peruna," likely meaning "rock," "stone," or "mountain." This etymology may be linked to the construction of stone roofs on houses.
In Hittite mythology, Peruna represents a deity known as Pirwa, whose gender is unclear. Despite being occasionally referred to as a "queen," archaeologists suggest that Pirwa was a male god. The worship of Pirwa appears to have incorporated horses and related symbols, as depicted by images of the deity riding a horse accompanied by a sacred eagle.
