Marduk: Sovereign Deity of Babylon

Описание: Marduk was the patron deity of Babylon and the supreme ruler of the Mesopotamian pantheon. Associated with justice, magic, and creation, he famously became the "King of the Gods" after defeating the primordial goddess Tiamat and creating the heavens and earth from her body. Marduk’s rise to prominence is detailed in the Babylonian creation epic, the Enūma Eliš. When the primordial goddess of chaos, Tiamat, threatened the younger gods, Marduk agreed to act as their champion. After slaying Tiamat, he split her body in half to form the sky and the earth, established the calendar, and used the blood of Tiamat's ally, Qingu, to create humanity as servants to the gods.
