Additional
Deity.
The goddess Ninlil, consort of the supreme deity Enlil, was regarded as a benevolent and merciful mother goddess. She was honored both in Babylonia and Assyria under different names as Enlil's counselor and intercessor for the people. Heroine of the Sumerian poem "Enlil and Ninlil", which tells how Enlil kidnapped young Ninlil, came into conflict with other deities and was banished to the underworld. Ninlil followed him, and from this marriage came the moon god Nanna. Ninlil's main astral significance is her association with the constellation Wagon in the Big Dipper. See.
