Tiamat is a primordial goddess of the sea, mating with Abzรป, the god of the groundwater, to produce younger gods. She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. She is referred to as a womanand described as "the glistening one". It is suggested that there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos. In the first, she is a creator goddess, through a sacred marriage between different waters, peacefully creating the cosmos through successive generations. In the second Chaoskampf Tiamat is considered the monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos. Some sources identify her with images of a sea serpent or dragon. #tiamat #mesopotamian #goddess #seagoddess #chaos #primordial
