In Phoenician mythology, the god Baal Hadad had had two weapons made, Yagrush ("chaser") and Aymur ("driver"), to combat the tyrannical sea god Yam-Nahar. He struck Yam on the chest with Yagrush to no avail. Then he struck him on the forehead with Aymur and fell Yam to the earth. After Yam's defeat, Baal had a palace built for himself. The story parallels the conflict between Marduk and Tiamat in Mesopotamian myths.
