Ancient Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses
The Mesopotamian literary corpus is one of the oldest literatures in the
world. It is infused with the divine, because religion played a crucial
part in the way Mesopotamians expressed their thoughts about human
life. Mesopotamian religion was polytheistic, with a pantheon consisting
of hundreds if not thousands of gods of varying importance. This
website offers information about the fifty most important gods and
goddesses and provides starting points for further research.
