Baal (Baʿlu Haddu) vs Mot

The storm-god of Ugarit, 'Rider of the Clouds', whose rain makes the land fertile; he defeats Yamm the Sea, builds his palace on Mount Zaphon, is swallowed by Mot (Death), and returns to life.

Baal is a title, "lord", and at Ugarit it belongs above all to the storm-god whose personal name was Haddu (Hadad). He is "Mightiest Baal" (aliyn bʿl) and "Rider of the Clouds" (rkb ʿrpt), and his voice is the thunder. Ugaritic texts call him the son of Dagan, a grain-god worshipped along the middle Euphrates, even though he lives among El's family; the tension between those two statements has never been fully explained. His home is Mount Zaphon (Ṣapānu), the mountain north of Ugarit now called Jebel Aqra, and one of the two great temples on Ugarit's acropolis is generally identified as his.

Death personified, whose throat reaches to the heavens and whose lip touches the earth, who swallows Baal and is himself destroyed by Anat and then fights Baal to a standstill.

Mot is death itself, not a ruler of the dead. The Baal Cycle gives him an enormous appetite: one lip to the earth, one lip to the heavens, a tongue to the stars (KTU 1.5 II), and a craving that the text compares to a lion's hunger and a dolphin's thirst. His city is Hmry ("Miry" or "Muddy"), where he sits on a throne in a land of filth, and messengers are warned not to come too close in case he swallows them.
