Excerpt from Kypros, Vol. 2: Eine Monographie
Den Grund zu dieser Benennung fand man in dem Glauben, die Astarte bezeichne ursprünglich den Ve nusstern; allein diese Bedeutung ist ihr erst spatcr durch chaldüischen Sterndienst, wie der babylonischen Mylitta zugekommen; ursprünglich bezeichnet sie ein fach den Mond und steht als solche dem Baal der Sonne, zur Seite. Von der griechischen Bedeutung des Wortes ausgehend, suchte Hammer in den Fund gruhen des Orients den Stamm des Namens im Per sischen, und legt auch in dieser Sprache ihm die Be deutung Stern bei.
