The story explaining the origins of the Turkish moon goddess is often linked to the tale of Kız Kulesi or the Maiden's Tower. According to myth, a king kept his daughter hidden in a tower to protect her from a prophecy that she would die from a snake bite. However, she is bitten by a snake hidden in a fruit basket and dies, leading to the establishment of her transformation into a lunar deity. This narrative reflects themes of fate and the inescapability of destiny prevalent in many myths.
