478 Enlil ENT_MES_ENLIL patron_of Sovereignty ENT_SOVEREIGNTY high Enlil is a major authority and kingship god. Jeremy Black and Anthony Green, Gods, Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia SRC_BLACK_GREEN_MESO reviewed  
1492 Enlil ENT_MES_ENLIL aligned_with Zeus ENT_ZEUS low Functional/typological cognate (no attested diffusion of the Mesopotamian deity into the later cult); per Burkert/West the real transmission, where any, runs through Hurrian-Hittite intermediaries. Martin L. West, The East Face of Helicon: West Asiatic Elements in Greek Poetry and Myth (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997) SRC_WEST_EAST_HELICON reviewed Archaic Period PER_GRK_ARCHAIC
1581 Enlil ENT_MES_ENLIL member_of Anunnaki ENT_MES_ANUNNAKI high Enlil is one of the three chief Anunnaki (Anu, Enlil, Enki) who divide the cosmos between them; in the Atrahasis Epic the Anunnaki cast lots and Enlil receives command of the earth; as the lord of the divine assembly (Ubshu-ukkinna) at Nippur, he presides over the Anunnaki.

1587 Enlil ENT_MES_ENLIL spouse_of Ninlil ENT_MES_NINLIL high Enlil and Ninlil are the divine couple of Nippur; the Enlil and Ninlil myth (ETCSL 1.2.1) narrates the circumstances of their union and subsequent journey to the underworld; in Sumerian hymns and god-lists they are consistently paired as the lord and lady of Nippur.

1589 Enlil ENT_MES_ENLIL parent_of Nanna/Sin ENT_MES_NANNA_SIN high In the Enlil and Ninlil myth (ETCSL 1.2.1), Enlil's union with Ninlil in the underworld produces Nanna/Sin (the moon god); this paternity is the standard Sumerian tradition for Nanna's divine parentage and is attested in hymns across the corpus.
