Major worksEnuma Elish, Atrahasis
Two foundational Babylonian myths, the first recounting the cosmic battle in which the god Marduk slays the primordial Tiamat and orders the universe, the second telling of humanity's creation and a great flood sent by the gods. Together they preserve the Mesopotamian vision of how the world, the gods, and human beings came to be, narratives that echo through later creation and flood traditions.
