tiamat, the sumerian goddess of the oceans and of the
forces of primitive chaos, is a ravening monster. in mesopotamian
tradition, tiamat turned against the other deities and unleashed a holocaust of
destruction before she was eventually destroyed by the celestial hero marduk:
she opened her mouth, tiamat, to swallow him. he
drove in the evil wind so that she could not close her lips. the terrible winds
filled her belly. her heart was seized, she held her mouth wide open, he let
fly an arrow, it pierced her belly, her inner parts he clove, he split her
heart, he rendered her powerless and destroyed her life, he felled her body and
stood upright on it.
like a boss...
