Atarsamain (also Attar-shamayin, "morning star of heaven") is an astral deity of uncertain gender, worshipped in pre-Islamic northern and central Arabia. Worshipped widely among Arab tribes in pre-Islamic Arabia, Atarsamain is known from around 800 BC and is identified in letters of the Assyrian kings Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal. He/she may be synonymous with the Arab goddess Allat whose cult was centred on Palmyra.
