Description
It is easy to see how ancient civilisations came to attribute the power of storms to the wrath of the gods. As lord of storms, Ba'al Zephon was revered for his control of the howling winds, churning seas and driving rain. It was his control of the rains that saw him linked to agriculture and cultivation. Torrential rain could destroy crops but, if Ba'al Zephon was appeased, the rains would fall as gentle showers, allowing the people to grow the crops they needed.
