Kurunta is often regarded as a god of the hunt instead of the wild places. It is an understatement to say that it is difficult to research him due to his complex nature. While some of the religious beliefs of the Hittite religion are well-known, Kurunta is also part of the muddled.
One of the main reasons why the research into Kurunta is so frustrating is that he shares his name with a Hittite king from the New Kingdom. This makes him seem like a strange person to some people, especially since politics were often mythologized in the documents that talked about him. However, these politics did provide some insight into how kings would identify with deities. There are various documents that show that Kurunta is similar to the god Kurunta.
The connection between Kurunta and the king is one of the reasons why some believe that he is the "Great King" in history. It is not a title for the god, but a title referring to the mortal king of the Hittite civilization.
