A community-maintained tertiary reference on Canaanite religion, directly examined. Its strength is a precise named list of the surviving genres, which grounds the liturgical-function claim in the actual textual record rather than a general impression; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Ugaritic-studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
