Apsu

(Redirected from Abzu)

In Sumerian mythology Abzu or Apsu was the god of fresh water, also representing the primeval water and sometimes the cosmic abyss. He was sometimes associated with the ocean, but he was not a deity of salt water.

He fathered all of the gods, including Marduk.  He was killed by Tiamat and Kingu.

Additions coming later. See also Tiamat, Enûma Elish.
