Re: [tied] Re: Marduk=Marut=Marutash=Amaratu

Marduk used winds as weapons against Tiamat and his monstruous offspring, since Marduk replaced the original Enlil, God of Air and Winds, in Mesopotamian theogony.

The functional features of maruts are - (a) almost always being
referred to in plural, (b) connection with forms of winds (storms,
breezes and so on) and (c) presiding deities of troops (military
toops? - from the mantra maruto gaNAnAM adhipatayastemavant u..). I am
not sure whether Marduk ever had functions as a storm deity or patron
deity of military troops. Maybe comparative mythologists have more
answers.
