The Mesopotamian god Ea, in Akkadian, and Enki, in Sumerian, was the god of water and a member of the triad of deities completed by Anu and Enlil. In the Sumerian myth, “Enki and the World Order,” Enki is said to have fixed national boundaries and assigned gods their roles. He was commonly represented as a half-goat, half-fish creature, from which the modern astrological figure for Capricorn is derived. Ea, the Akkadian counterpart of Enki, was the god of ritual purification: ritual cleansing waters were called, “Ea’s water.” Ea governed the arts of sorcery and incantation. In some stories he was also the form-giving god, and thus the patron of craftsmen and artists; he was known as the bearer of culture. In his role as adviser to the king, Ea was a wise god although not a forceful one. In Akkadian myth, as Ea’s character evolves, he appears frequently as a clever mediator who could be devious and cunning. He is also the father of Marduk, the national god of Babylonia.
