Gurzil
Gurzil was a Berber god worshipped by the Laguatan and other tribes of Tripolitania in late antiquity, represented as a bull and said to be the son of the god Ammon and a cow. The Latin poet Corippus describes his image being carried into battle against the Byzantines in the 540s by the chief Ierna, who was also his priest. He is one of the few Berber gods named in ancient sources.
