Babylonian religion and mythology . brief sketch of the companyof the Babylonian gods which will harmonize withtheir position and character in the great religious andmythological and legendary works of the nation.* At the head of the company of the gods may beset the great triad of deities A&u, Bel and Ea, whosespheres of influence together embraced the entire uni-verse. Anu was the god of heaven, Bel the god ofthe earth and of mankind, and Ea the god of the abyssof water beneath the earth. /At a very early period inSumerian history we find these three deities mentionedin close connection with each other under theirSumerian names of Anna (Anu), Enlil (Bel), andEnki (Ea). Lugalzaggisi, who caused the inscriptionto be written in which their names occur, was one ofthe earliest Sumerian rulers of whose reign we haveevidence, and we can thus trace back the existenceof this great triad of gods to the very beginning ofhistory. During the later periods the connection ofthese deities with each other, as the three great gods. SIN, SHAMASH, AND RAMMAN. 17 of the universe, remained unshaken. Each memberof the triad had his own centre of worship.

The worship ofthe third member of the triad, Ea, originated in Eridu, the southernmost of the great cities of Babylonia, thesite of which, now marked by the mound of AbuShahren, stands fifty miles from the mouth of theShatt el-Arab, but which in the earliest period ofBabylonian history, before the formation of the presentdelta, must have stood
