In the Mesopotamian myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods Enlil, Ishtar, Ea (also known as Enki), and Shamash have differing views on humanity. Enlil, disturbed by mankind's noise and behavior, advocates for their destruction, while Ea opposes this and seeks to save humanity by warning Utnapishtim about the impending flood. Ishtar's anger is more personal, stemming from the rejection of her advances, while Shamash supports the idea of saving the righteous. Thus, they do not all agree on the destruction of mankind, reflecting a complex dynamic among the deities.

What are ancient Mesopotamian names?

An Ancient Mesopotamian OnomastikonThe following list contains a number of original names from Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian sources. They belonged to normal people or city officials rather than kings. Names of kings and gods are easily found, on the net and elsewhere, but the purpose of this list is giving a selection of everyday names which can be used in role playing. A number of names are composed with the names of gods - it should be possible to obtain even more names by swapping the names of gods (Nanna, Sin, Enlil etc). Often the god's name in the name of the father is repeated in the name of the son.A big thank you goes out to Mesannepada, who kindly started off this collection by supplying name lists from literature. The majority of the remaining names are taken from J. N. Postgate's book 'Early Mesopotamia' which is an excellent introduction to the civilization of the ancient Near East.
