Somebody once told us that we’d be talking to you today about Shamash, the Sun God and a major deity of the Pantheon of the Mesopotamian cultures. Sumerians know him as Utu, Sin knows him as his son, Ishtar knows him as a brother, and we (and the Akkadians) know him, we love, him, it’s Shamash time! He’s taking the Sun Chariot all the way, he’s laying down the laws and the justice, Shamash is coming to an arena near you.

Ep 77 - Tiamat Vs Marduk, Noisy Neighbors

It’s Babylonian, Baby! This myth is part creation story and part epic battle. It all starts with a family tree of gods and goddesses and also the plot of neighbors. These youth are too damn noisy. Gods damn it, Tiamat’s gonna do something about it. We talk about the Babylonian/Akkadian myth and then in the latter half of the episode relate it back to that DND title monster, Tiamat.
