God Enlil

Enlil is a major deity in ancient Mesopotamian mythology, particularly among the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. He is often regarded as the god of wind, air, and storms, and is associated with authority and kingship. Enlil plays a crucial role in the creation myth and was seen as a powerful figure who could influence the fate of humanity. His temple, the Ekur, was located in Nippur, which was a significant religious center. Enlil’s character reflects a blend of both benevolence and wrath, illustrating the complexity of divine power in ancient belief systems.
