| TIHAMTU.
Or Tiamat,
"Chaos."
The Assyrian goddess Tihamtu represented the principle of chaos, and was
given the form of "The Dragon of the Sea," or "The
Seven-headed Serpent." She was the Ταυθὲ of Endemus (Damasc.
De Princ., ed. Kopp. p. 324), and in the legend of the creation she is
"The Begetter" of the universe. Bel-Merodach fought
against her and her allies in heaven, and drove her back to primaeval
darkness. This war forms the subject of a grand myth, at the bottom
of which lay a representation of the defeat and repulse of the storm-cloud
and the powers of the night by the Sun-god Merodach, a subject often
represented on the walls of the Assyrian temples. (An Archaic
Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
