Beelshamên, or Baal-Shamin (Syrian Semitic), was a
supreme deity and the
sky god of pre-
Islamic Palmyra in ancient
Syria. His attributes are the eagle and the lightning bolt. "Beel" is also equivalent to the
semitic Baal and
Bel, meaning "Lord", and was an ancient name for
Enlil and
Marduk.
Beelshamên formed a triad with the lunar god Aglibol and the sun god Malakbel (or Yarhibol).
