	Ninurta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ninurta 'Lord Plough' in Sumerian and Akkadian mythology was the god of Nippur, identified with Ningirsu with whom he may always have been identical.
		Ninurta slays each of the monsters later known as the "Slain Heroes" (the Dragon, the Gypsum, the Palm Tree King, Lord Saman-ana, the bison-beast, the scorpion-man, the seven-headed serpent), and finally Anzu is eventually killed by Ninurta who delivers the Tablet to his father, Enlil.
		Ninurta appears in a double capacity in the epithets bestowed on him, and in the hymns and incantations addressed to him.

		Another son of Enlil, Ninurta was the god of the thunderstorm and spring flood.
		Since the moist air and thunderstorms of spring soften the soil and make ploughing possible, it is understandable that Ninurta is also god of the plough.
		It did, however, furnish the metaphorization and key to the social significance of the power in the thunderstorm which became, like the emergent king, a defender against outer foes and a righter of internal wrongs.

		Ninurta is preceded into battle by a raging wind which seems to do as much damage to his own side as that of the enemy, so is included as an unpredictable and uncooperative dragon.
		Not all of nature sided with Asag, so Ninurta is aided by forces similar to that of his opponent.
		Asag's forces are actually tamed, in part, by an irrigation project, with dams being provided by the loyal rocks, so Ninurta can be assumed to have all water on the battle-field very much on his side.

	Article 3
		The virtual identity of Ninurta and the human king/prince was not an invention of Esarhaddon's scribes but was from the beginning written in the myths themselves.
		The myth of Ninurta's triumphal return (Angim) provided the paradigm for the triumphal return of the king from a victorious military campaign.47 In such cultic and ritual application, the scene of the myth becomes a mundane locality, the temple or palace where the festivities took place.
		As Ninurta, he was the divine saviour who brought down godless, tyrannical regimes, defended the weak and oppressed, cured the sick, and provided the daily bread (of life) for the (spiritually) poor; as Tammuz, he was the good shepherd and redeemer who guided his “sheep” to the right path and ultimately died for them.
