I just came across a resource which may be valuable for people who don’t have access to libraries. It is an iconographic dictionary of deities and demons in the ancient Near East. Currently, 136 articles are available for free. These articles are excellent because they recognize commonalities between deities; however, they also recognize what makes the deities distinct.
