Tiwaz (Luwian deity) Tiwaz (Luwian deity) Tiwaz (Stem: Tiwad-) was the Luwian Sun-god. He was among the most important gods of the Luwians. The name of the Proto-Anatolian Sun god can be reconstructed as "*Diuod-", which derives from the Proto-Indo-European word "*dei-" ("shine", "glow"). This name is cognate with the Greek Zeus, Latin Jupiter, and Norse Tyr.
