Understanding Plot
-
Apsu, the god of fresh water, and Tiamat, the goddess of
salt water, bore a son named Lahmu and a daughter
named Lahamu. These siblings bore Anshar and Kishar.
Anshar was the sky god. Kishar was the earth goddess.
With each successive generation, Apsu and Tiamat's
offspring became more wild and unruly, yet more
powerful and perfect.
