One of the texts about the supreme god Enlil claims that he created the hoe, split heaven and earth, grew the seeds for the fields, and divided them among the people. Another legend claims that the supreme god also produced all plants, including trees and cereals.

The Sumerian gods made humanity so they wouldn’t have to labor. When the goddess Ninmah created the first man, the knowledgeable Enki suggested doing this. The gods made the decision to rejoice over the creation of man.

Enki used each of the various variations of defective humans that the goddess produced during the feast. Finally, Ninmah produced a baby, a being incapable of movement, eating, or drinking. Ninmah was challenged by Enki to find a use for this creature, but she was at a loss.

One more plot is saved in the Atrahasis, an Akkadian epic. From the get go, Enki depended the field work and the upkeep of the trenches to the lesser divine beings. Following 40 years, they revolted, and the insightful god chose to make individuals. The reason for them was the earth, flesh of the departed god, as well as the spit of different divinities.

As indicated by the legendary, individuals started to duplicate rapidly, and their clamor started to pester the divine beings, who liked to obliterate their manifestations with a flood. Enki cautioned a man named Atrahasis who fabricated an ark for his loved ones. After the vanishing of individuals, the divine beings understood that they were left without their contributions. Atoned, they promised not to fall back on such radical measures once more. All things considered, the divine beings chose to monitor the human populace through troublesome labor, baby mortality, and restrictions.

The beginning of the world was likewise proven by the discourse “Discussion among Sheep and Grain”. It started with a portrayal of days of yore, when the divine beings and individuals didn’t know farming and dairy cattle rearing. The divine beings around then lived on a consecrated slope, and individuals – at its foot. Sooner or later, the divinities made sheep and grain. Having tasted the “abundance of sheep and grain” in their feast corridor, the divine beings chose to give them to individuals also.

Sumerian divine beings and fantasies about them
Among the anecdotes about Enlil was one where he assaulted goddess Ninlil. For the wrongdoing, Enlil was ousted from the local area of the divine beings to the hidden world. Ninlil went with him in banishment. He impregnated her three additional times. Their oldest child Sin turned into the divine force of the moon, the other three became lords of the hidden world.

The smartest of the Sumerian divine beings was Enki, who was viewed as the supporter holy person of insight and water. The biggest sonnet devoted to him recounts Enki’s association of the world request. It extols him as the provider of individuals and divine beings. On his formal boat, joined by his entourage, Enki visited the terrains known to the occupants of Mesopotamia – Melukhha (Indus Valley), Dilmun (Bahrain), Elam. Enki makes (“calls by name”) swamps, reeds, downpour, ocean and mists. He transforms slopes into fields, shows individuals how to deal with animals and devices. A savvy god draws limits between countries.

He selects the divine beings liable for different peculiarities: horticulture, dairy cattle reproducing, hunting, creates, composing, birthing assistance, and even prostitution.

Inanna is shocked that she has no capabilities left. Then Enki chooses her as the goddess of affection and war. The song of praise text portrays her dauntlessness as the patroness of struggles.

The legend god was the child of Enlil, Ninurta, who showed up in four Sumerian texts and one Akkadian. Ninurta overcomes the volcanic beast and his stone partners. Then, at that point, God determines the destiny of the stones: the “favored” will be valuable to individuals all alone, the “doomed” will be parted or grounded into powder.

Ninurta looked to acquire the powers of the senior divine beings. He found and killed the monster bird Anzu that had taken the abilities of his dad Enlil. In the Akkadian variant, the legend didn’t promptly consent to return his dad’s powers. Be that as it may, in the end he surrendered, for which he later got acclaim from the divine beings.

In the Sumerian sonnet “Ninurta and the Turtle”, subsequent to overcoming Anzu, the legend needs to keep the powers he has gotten. To conciliate him, Enki makes a goliath turtle. At the point when Ninurta is caught by the beast, the lord of astuteness reproaches him for his arrogance.

In “Enuma Elish”, a Babylonian sonnet written in the twelfth century BC, the plot with Ninurta was reevaluated about the god Marduk.

Ea (Enki) approached his child Marduk to battle Tiamat. Before the fight, the divine beings gave their powers to Marduk, who saved them for him and after the triumph made Babylon the focal point of the world. The account of the contention between the child and the dad was supplanted by the tale of how the lord of astuteness made his child the incomparable god.

Goddess Inanna – Center Eastern Aphrodite
The goddess Inanna was well known in Sumer. Later in Babylonia, she would be loved as the goddess Ishtar. She was the spouse of the god Dumuzi, the benefactor holy person of shepherds.

The biggest story of the divine beings, numbering 800 lines, is devoted to Inanna and Enki. Inanna is the patroness of adoration and reproduction, Enki is the divine force of insight and enchantment. On one occasion Inanna passed on her city of Uruk to visit Enki in his city of Eridu. During the banquet, the tipsy Enki conceded Inanna command over in excess of 100 credits of Sumerian life. Among them were the craft of copyists, music, design, reason, as well as kissing, prostitution, family squabbles. Inanna escaped with them to her city.

When the goddess was assaulted by the grounds-keeper Shukaletuda. Inanna over and over attempted to rebuff the human, however each time Enki assisted the criminal with getting away from discipline. At long last, the goddess prevailed with regards to persuading the god to surrender Shukaletuda. Inanna managed the human, yet guaranteed that his name wouldn’t be neglected.

Similarly well known was the account of affection among Inanna and Dumuzi, the supporter holy person of the shepherds. As indicated by one variant of the fantasy, the shepherd god went after her with the rural god Enkimdu. Then again, Dumuzi had no adversaries.

In Inanna’s Drop into the Hidden world, the goddess kicks the bucket. She slides into the Lower World to her sister, who kills her. The demise of Inanna prompted the suspension of the introduction of kids. The couriers of the god Enki persuaded the goddess of the Hidden world to bring Inanna back. She settled on the condition that she would give a substitution – this is the best way to leave the hidden world.

Getting back from the Hidden world, joined by devils, the goddess met the benefactors of the Sumerian urban areas. Seeing them in clothes, Inanna didn’t permit the evil presences to take them to the hidden world. The substitution was Dumuzi, who didn’t grieve the passing of the goddess. He showed up in fantasies as well as Dumuzi’s plot to endeavor escape from the evil spirits who were chasing after him. Thus, Geshtinanna, the young fellow’s sister consented to substitute him in the Hidden world for quite some time. The connection among Inanna and Dumuzi was the topic of the Sumerian love verses.

Inanna was loved by the Sumerians, yet in addition by the Akkadians. In Akkadian fantasy, Enki, burnt out on the awful idea of the goddess, made her twofold named Struggle. Inanna saw herself from the side and was frightened. From that point forward, the goddess deserted mercilessness, and Enki requested the Sumerians to play out a custom dance in her honor.

Sumerian fantasies about the divine beings created in Akkad and Babylonia. The fantasy of the drop into the hidden world of Ishtar rehashes the text about the plunge of Inanna there. Plots from the Sumerian pantheon created different fantasies too.
