    Enki

    God in Sumerian mythology

    Enki is the Sumerian god of water, knowledge, crafts, and creation, and one of the Anunnaki. He was later known as Ea or Ae in Akkadian religion, and is identified by some scholars with Ia in Canaanite religion. The name was rendered Aos within Greek sources. He was originally the patron god of the city of Eridu, but later the influence of his cult spread throughout Mesopotamia and to the Canaanites, Hittites and Hurrians. He was associated with the southern band of constellations called stars of Ea, but also with the constellation AŠ-IKU, the Field. Beginning around the second millennium BCE, he was sometimes referred to in writing by the numeric ideogram for "40", occasionally referred to as his "sacred number". The planet Mercury, associated with Babylonian Nabu was, in Sumerian times, identified with Enki, as was the star Canopus. Many myths about Enki have been collected from various sites, stretching from Southern Iraq to the Levantine coast. Wikipedia
