marduk is a babylonian god. He is the son of Enki (god of earth and water) and ninhursag. He is usually depicted as part dragon part eagle (both very important symbols in babylonian religion). He defeated a creature called Tiamat (which symbolizes the salty waters of the ocean). In ancient texts on Enki and Marduk it is said that Marduk as the champion of the gods splits tiamat in two like a dry fish. He is also the patorn god of the city Babylon.
