Chthonic deity of Sumerian origin, son of Ninazu, god of the underworld, one of the guardians of the heavenly gates of the god Anu. According to AN:<sup>d</sup>''Anum'' (V 254, 258), he had 2 wives and 3 sisters [Litke 1998<ref>''Litke R.L''. A Reconstruction of the Assyro-Babylonian God-Lists, AN:<sup>d</sup>A-nu-um and AN:Anu ša<sub>2</sub> amēli. New Haven, 1998 (Texts from the Babylonian Collection, Vol. 3).</ref>, 192]. His symbol was considered to be the horned serpent bašmu, a prototype of the Greek Hydra (see Kurtik b08 ''[[Bašmu]]''), and possibly also Nira [Wiggermann 2001, 574]. As usual, the reasons and specific circumstances for Ningishzida's association with this constellation is unclear. See. [MNM 2<ref>''Мифы народов мира''. Т. 1-2 / Глав. ред. С.А.Токарев. 2-е издание.

I. Источники. |

«Молитвы ночным богам». (1) Хеттская молитва: <sup>mul d</sup>Nin-ki-zi-da [KUB IV, 47 r. 43; BPO 2, 2:4; Van der Toorn 1985, 129:43].

|||
II. Божество. |
|||
Хтоническое божество шумерского происхождение, сын бога преисподней Ниназу, один из стражей небесных врат бога Ану. Согласно AN:<sup>d</sup>Anum (V 254, 258), у него было 2 жены и 3 сестры [Litke 1998, 192]. Его символом считалась рогатая змея bašmu, прообраз греческой Гидры (см. b08), а также, возможно, Нирах [Wiggermann 2001, 574]. Как обычно, неясны причины и конкретные обстоятельства, обусловившие связь Нингишзиды с этим созвездием. См. [МНМ 2, 221; Black–Green 1992, 140, 167; Tallqvist 1938, 406; Van Buren 1934; 1946, 15–16; Wiggermann 1993–1997, 458; 1997, 39–42; 2001, 574]. |
