Anzu: 2 versions: Old Babylonian Version (OBV), from early 2nd millennium BC, about Ningirsu Standard Babylonian Version (SBV), from 7th c. BC, about Ninurta

Anzu: Summary Ellil asks about Anzu. Ea explains was born of flood waters and suggests Ellil take him as servant, which he does Anzu steals Tablet of Destinies. Gods are left in disarray, convene to choose champion. Adad, Gerra and Shara refuse Ea has gods acclaim Belet-ili as Mistress of the Gods, persuades her to get son Ninurta/ Ningirsu to be champion. She complies

Anzu: Summary Ninurta attacks Anzu, but Anzu thwarts attacks. Ninurta sends to Ea for help, and Ea instructs him to cut off Anzu’s wing feathers. When Anzu calls wings back, feathered arrow will also go to him

Anzu: Summary Ea’s plan works! Ninurta kills Anzu and recovers Tablet of Destinies…unclear exchange with aggressive messenger… …Ninurta has returned and gods praise him as most important among them, celebrating him with many names (incl., in SBV, Ningirsu)

Me (“may”) Divine properties, powers or norms preserving order and harmony of created world, civilisation and human society Me allowed perfect designs of every activity, office, institution, piece of equipment, belief or attitude to be realised in world Usually held by Anu or Ellil, sometimes others

Kingship is one of me. Disruptive impact of Anzu’s theft (p. 211) Expected result of Ninurta’s success (p. 212) Ea’s motives? Ninurta’s behaviour as ideal of progress of kingship/model of succession The power of names (pp. 219-21)

Familial overlay of tale: Ninurta as loyal son (p. 219) Importance of family. Ea as temporary father figure (p. 226, see also p. 217) Conveying drama: Repeated speeches (pp. 208-10) Cataclysmic battle (pp. 217-18)
