babylonian - sarpanit, mother goddess
Sarpanit & Marduk, Ashurbanipal Banquet
Iâm not the biggest Marduk fan (heâs a bit of a state mandated god) but I enjoy my design of him, and I think this is the best drawing of Sarpanit Iâve done so far. I drew them both for inktober, but to recap Marduk was the patron god of Babylon, protagonist of Enuma Elish, and Sarpanit Is his consort, a goddess of birth.
The picture here is based off of a famous relief from the palace of Ashurbanipal, the âbanquet sceneâ. It was fun to draw all the various furniture!
Still working on that Enmesharra drawing, I remain Indecisive on the colors. :/
1. Gula x Ninurta
2. Marduk x Sarpanit
art is mine, OCs belong to me, not the gods X3

Holding On For Life
Appeals to stars and planets as the deities' astral manifestations are known from two late rituals, the New Year's ritual in Babylon and a ritual performed in the temple of Anu in Uruk. Among the deities addressed in the New Year's ritual in Babylon are the Goddess ᚢarpanÄŤtu (the consort of Marduk, Chief God of Babylon) in Her astral manifestation, also the Square of Pegasus, MurdrukeĹĄda, and the star of Eridu; they are followed by the planets Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn- here called, with an epithet elsewhere reserved for Libra, star of justice- and Mars, and the stars Sirius, Arcturus, NE.NE.GAR, NumuĹĄda, Antares, and finally the Sun and the Moon. The prayer to Babylon's tutelary deity, BÄl (that is, Marduk), and His consort BÄltiya in lines 318ff addresses the Goddess (lines 325-32) as the planet Venus or as one of its manifestations as a fixed star: the Bow (MĂL.BAN), the Goat (MĂL.ĂZ), the Star of Abundance (MĂL.HĂ.GĂL.A), the Star of Dignity (MĂL.BAL.TĂĹ .A), the Wagon (MĂL.MAR.GĂD.DA), Coma Berenices? (MĂL.A.EDIN), and Vela? (MĂL.NIN.MAH).
