Did Marduk Destroy the Mother of All? | Ep99
Manage episode 504198501 series 3607514
Tiamat, the primordial sea, was both mother and monster, giving birth to the gods before her grief turned to wrath. When her own children betrayed her, she rose not as a nurturer but as an avenger, creating terrible beasts to unmake creation itself. Marduk, the storm-god, challenged her in a battle that would reshape the universe. With weapons of wind and thunder, he tore Tiamat asunder, her body becoming the world as we know it. But what does it mean when the first mother is destroyed? Discover the ancient myth that explains the chaos, creation, and cosmic price of life itself.
