The Sun goddess of Arinna is the chief goddess and wife of the weather god Tarḫunna in Hittite mythology. She protected the Hittite kingdom and was called the "Queen of all lands." 
Mezulla was the daughter of the Sun goddess of Arinna and the weather god Tarḫunna. Her daughter Zintuḫi was a goddess who had no special role. From the 13th century BC onwards, the corn god Telipinu, the Weather god of Zippalanda and the Weather god of Nerik are attested as her brothers.
