Ninurta

Ninurta (Nin Ur) in Sumerian and Akkadian mythology was the god of Nippur, identified with Ningirsu with whom he may always have been identical. In older transcriptions the name is rendered Ninib and in older commentary he is sometimes seen as a solar deity.In Nippur Ninurta was worshipped as part of a triad of deities including his father Enlil and his mother Ninlil. In variant mythology, his mother is said to be Ninhursag.Ninurta often appears holding a bow and arrow and a mace named Car-ur to which he speaks when attacking the monster Asag, and which answers back. Car-ur often takes the form of a winged lion.

[Mesopotamian] The Sumero-Babylonian god of rain, fertility, war, thunderstorms, wells, canals, floods, the plough and the South Wind. His name means "lord of the earth" and mankind owed to him the fertile fields and the healthy live-stock. He is a son of Enlil, and his wife is Gula. When the Tablets of Destiny were stolen by the storm-bird Zu he managed to retrieve them. As the 'great hunter' is related to Nimrod, as mentioned in Genesis 10: 8-12. The city of Nippur (ca. 100 km. south of Babylon) was the center of his cult. Ninurta is often confused with Ningirsu, the god of the city of Girsu, and who is probably the earlier form of Ninurta. According to one poem he once dammed up the bitter waters of the underworld and conquered various monsters.
