Abstract

Throughout history, man has tried various ways to achieve his goals. The person trying to reach his goals sometimes behaves in accordance with the ethical rules, but sometimes he does not observe this situation. One of the methods that people use to reach their goals is utilize the act of deception. Man has committed the act of deception in order to get rid of a negative situation he is in, to protect and maintain the situation he/she is in, and to turn the bad situation in his/her favour. The use of deception was recorded in the Hittite texts as in other societies. This action, which is documented in many different Hittite texts, can include deities, humans, animals and inanimate objects. It is recorded that a deity deceives another deity, man deceives another man, man deceives a deity, and deity deceives man. In addition, an act of deception was carried out by using live or inanimate proxies. It is also mentioned in the texts that those who commit the act of deception should not do this; otherwise they will be severely punished. These actions, which can sometimes even change the course of a war, were sometimes successful and sometimes not.

Özet

İnsan, tarih boyunca emellerine ulaşmak için çeşitli yollar denemiştir. Amacına ulaşmaya çalışan kimse, kimi zaman etik kurallara uygun davransa da kimi zaman da bu durumu gözetmemiştir. İnsanın hedefine ulaşmak için kullandığı yöntemlerden birisi, kandırma eylemi ile durumu kontrol altına alma çabasıdır. Kişi, içinde bulunduğu olumsuz durumdan kurtulmak, içinde bulunduğu durumu korumak ve devam ettirmek ve kötü durumu lehine çevirmek amacıyla kandırma eylemini gerçekleştirmiştir. Kandırma eyleminin kullanımı diğer toplumlarda olduğu gibi Hititlerde de kayıtlara geçmiştir. Hititçe birçok farklı metinde belgelenen bu eylemde tanrılar, insanlar, hayvanlar ve cansız nesneler yer alabilmektedir. Tanrının başka bir tanrıyı, insanın başka bir insanı, insanın tanrıyı ve tanrının insanı kandırması şeklinde kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca canlı veya cansız vekiller kullanılarak da kandırma eylemi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kandırma eylemini gerçekleştiren kimselerin, bunu yapmaması gerektiği aksi halde ağır şekilde cezalandırılacakları da metinlerde zikredilmiştir. Bazen bir savaşın seyrini bile değiştirebilen bu eylemler, kimi zaman başarılı olmuş kimi zaman ise başarıya ulaşmamıştır.
