Outside the gates of the great city of Qadesh, a great basalt stelae enumerates the following inscription enumerating the great triumphs of its wondrous hero, a man beyond good and evil, surpassing the sages of earth and the lamassus of heaven.
In the month of Dul, when the sun was swallowed by the moon, a woman conceived a child by the god of death, with the body of her husband. This child was two parts man and one part god, and was called Killetz. Ages increased, and Killetz came into the flower of his manhood. Lamenting his virginity, he seized the city of the king and bent it to his will. The boys he took from their mothers and he made soldiers of them. The girls he took from their fathers and he made concubines of them. The people of the city cried out to the gods, to El the patriarch, to his consort Athirat, to Baal the Thunderer, for Killetz was a vile man. Yea, they cried out to heaven to bring them a savior, for as Killetz was begotten the son of Mot, god of death, he could not be killed as his father was loathe to swallow his own begotten son. Finally, the gods heard their plea and fashioned a great bull from the clay of the Euphrates, and bid him trample Killetz underfoot, yea, impale him with his horns. However, when the bull came upon the mighty king, Killetz, he laughed, “What art thou?” he said, “A lesser bull sent to contest with me?” and he grabbed the bull by his (Lacuna) crushed it under foot. The bull was undone and fell to the ground. After a beef feast, Killetz (Lacuna) the gods sent another foe, a mighty heavenly lion with ferocious teeth to slay the king Killetz, yea to disembowel (Lacuna) the lion was defeated. Finally the consort of Baal offered a plan. She would form from the sweat of her body and the dust of the earth a woman, yea, make a harlot of sweat and dust. She was fashioned, and the breath of life was blown into her, and she was sent to seduce the king, and moderate the ways of Killetz. She came upon Killetz, and he was smitten by her beauty, and they made love for seven days and seven nights. Killetz collapsed from exhaustion, having spilt seed far too much for any man to bear, and he fell into a deep and dreamless sleep. As he slept, the citizens of the city carried him far outside the city, where he was eaten by beasts of the field.
