This week on MYTH, we’ll be starting the new year with a new creation myth from a new pantheon (see what I did there). This story is between roughly 30 and 38 centuries old, which makes it the oldest one we’ve covered yet. You’ll learn that Enki is basically a divine Batman, that ancient god names sound more like knock off super-heroes, and that infanticide is an acceptable solution to a lot of problems. Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll learn that ancient demons can do a lot more than make you puke pea soup. This is the Assyrian/Babylonian story of the fight between Marduk and Tiamat.
