| IZDUBAR. "Mass
of Fire." According to the newly discovered Izdubar Tablets an
early mythical Assyrian hero, who was probably a form of the solar
deity. He was a great chieftain, and delivered the city of Erech
when it was assailed by the giants. He had for his wife the goddess
Ishtar, who proved unfaithful to him, and sent some monstrous bulls to
destroy him. These animals he was enabled to slay by the assistance
of his faithful friend and adviser the deified sage Heabani, who was
ultimately killed by an unknown insect or reptile called a Tambukki.
Izdubar afterwards becoming afflicted with a cutaneous malady, went by the
advice of his boatman Urhamsi to seek the sage Adrahasis, who having
survived the Deluge, was supposed to be able to cure him of his
malady. Adrahasis complied with his request, and related to him in
considerable detail the legend of the flood. Upon returning to Erech
Izdubar set up a monument in memory alike of his cure and of the story
related by his benefactor, and then by the aid of enchantment had the soul
of Heabani raised up to commune with him. Izdubar seems after these
events to have become a king, but his history is so mixed up with a
mythological series of legends that his real character is uncertain, as
also are of course his parentage and date. As he had a chief
companion named Zaidu, who was also a hunter, he may have been the same as
the following. Izdubar, a very early Chaldean king called the
"Powerful King." He was succeeded by his son Zaidu,
"the Hunter." Gisdhubar
is a variant form. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
