Historical Evidence(Strong evidence)
The Song of Kumarbi (Hittite, first presented 1946) establishes the succession Anu to Kumarbi to Teshub, paralleling Ouranos to Kronos to Zeus. Academic consensus: "the clearest evidence for the Greek reception of Near Eastern mythology." Anu is castrated by Kumarbi with his teeth; Ouranos is castrated by Kronos with a sickle. The Anu = Ouranos identification is established academic consensus via Duke University (GRBS journal) and Oxford.
