Sumerian Origins Podcast [ Ссылка ]
In early Mesopotamia, by far the two most important gods who figure in almost all myths as leading characters are Enlil and Enki. Enlil is Lord Air/Wind, the firstborn of Anu, the Skyfather, and Ki, the Earth Mother, and under His command it is the Word that all teaches and has the potential to Create everything. Enlil is therefore Inspiration and the Inspirer, the first Breath of the Universe. Enki, on the other hand, is the god of the sweet underground waters (the apsu), patron of all crafts, magick and wisdom, embodying the primeval idea of Form that can take countless shapes yet remaining the same in essence. Enki is thus fundamentally the Shaper of All, Master of all Knowing to be Manifested without. His father is also Anu, the Skyfather, and His mother is Nammu, the primeval salt waters that gave origin to everything there is. This essay will focus on the bond between these two divine brothers, how they relate to each other, their interaction with the and especially in Mesopotamian mythology, and proceed to affirm that both gods represent the basis of Sumerian legacy for Mesopotamia. Together, Enlil and Enki form an enduring, woundrous partnership of the Divine Masculine in Mesopotamia, another model of wholeness unparalleled in world myth and religion.
