[ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] In Babylonian religion, Sarpanit (alternately Sarpanitu, zarpanitu, Zarpanit, Zarpandit, Zerpanitum, Zerbanitu, or Zirbanit)[1] is a mother goddess and the consort of the chief god, Marduk.[2]
According to the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary, her name means [Goddess] of ;n, an otherwise unknown village outside of Babylon.[3] Others explain her name as meaning "the shining one",[4] and she is sometimes associated with the planet Venus. By a play on words her name was interpreted as za?, or "creatress of seed", and is thereby associated with the goddess Aruru, who, according to Babylonian myth, created mankind.[5]
In the documentation available to modern scholars, Zerbanitu tu only exists as a consort to her husband, without personality of her own. Her cult was located in Esagila, the great temple of Marduk in Babylon, where their divine marriage was celebrated during the great akitu ritual at the New Year. Sarapanitu also appears in a text given the title Love Lyrics, in which she confronts Marduk for chasing the goddess Ishtar through the streets of Babylon. [6] Other sources describe Ishtar as the wife of Marduk.Mound builders shining Venus info Bel more attribute [ link to youtu.be (secure)]
