 Nergal (Erra) - Ancient Near East.net
Nergal is the name of the Mesopotamian deity most closely associated with the Underworld, commonly regarded as the husband of Ereškigal, queen of the Underworld, as related in the tale of Nergal and Ereškigal, the Sumerian myth that relates the story of their love.
In this last, military aspect, Nergal depended especially on the close syncretism that developed between himself and another, originally separate god, Erra, that led eventually to the two deities being so closely identified that they lost their individual natures and were equated one with the other.
It is thought that this myth may reflect the the repeated invasion of Babylonia in the twelfth to the ninth centuries BCE by such marginal tribal groups as the Arameans or Suteans.
