Astarte was the principal goddess of the ancient Phoenicians. She was pretty big in her day; it is rumored that even King Solomon built a temple to her. She was also known as Astarat, Astoreth and considered an incarnation of the Egyptian goddess Ishtar. The official, dictionary pronunciation is ah STAR tee (with the accent on the second syllable) but we usually pronounce it ah STAR tay. Either is okay with us.
