| HEABANI. "Creation
of Hea." A famous sage, who according to the Izdubar Legends
dwelt in a cave by himself by the shores of a great river, and avoided all
human society. He was renowned for his great wisdom, and was the
chief friend and assistant of Izdubar
in his various undertakings.
He was represented as a monstrous being, half man and half bull, somewhat
resembling the Minotaur or Pan of Greek mythology. After having
rendered many services to Izdubar,
he was killed by the bite of some poisonous insect, probably a fly, but
his spirit was afterwards raised to earth again in answer to the earnest
petitions and spells of his afflicted companion. The relation of
Heabani to the deity Hea other than his name is uncertain, and the real
character of the sage is itself not clearly defined, as the legends
relating to his conflicts with the bulls, lions, and evil spirits, which
so continually occur on the Babylonian cylinders, have not yet been fully
translated. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
