Adad

Adad was the Mesopotamian god of the storms.

Overview[]

The Sumerian Iškur's parentage varied from source to source, with some claiming that his father was either An, the god of the sky, Enlil, the god of storms, or Nannar, the god of the moon. As the son of Nannar, he was also the brother of Utu, god of sun and justice, and Inanna, goddess of war, sex and political power, and he was often paired with the goddess Shala, goddess of grain and the weather.

As the Akkadian and Babylonian Adad he was far more revered and responsible for the gathering the storms for the flood within the story of The Epic of Atraḥasis, and he was also one of the gods who tried to retrieve the Tablets of Destinies from the Monstrous Anzû-bird in the Epic of Anzû.

The god is usually depicted sometimes holding lightning in his right hand and an axe in his left. He was also often shown to stand near or over a bull or a lionlike dragon (possibly a mušḫuššu similar to the Babylonian god Marduk). He was also associated with magical acts, such as divination, oracles and exorcisms, of both human and cattle. He was also the protector of the crops, similar to Canaanite god Ba'al.
