Lôtān, Litan, or Litānu (Ugaritic: Ltn, lit. "Coiled") was a sea monster in Canaanite mythology, similar to as Leviathan in Hebrew mythology. Lotan seems to have been prefigured by Têmtum, the serpent killed by the benevolent storm god Hadad in Syrian seals of the 18th–16th century BC. The Baal Cycle's description of Lotan is directly paralleled by a passage in the later Apocalypse of Isaiah, in which Yahweh fights Leviathan. Clear influences of the myth are visible in the slaying of Typhon in Greek mythology.
