Enki

Enki is a central deity in Sumerian and Akkadian tradition, closely associated with fresh water, wisdom, creativity, and practical intelligence. Enki plays a recurring role in myths as a mediator and helper who resolves crises through insight rather than force. He is linked to the subterranean waters that sustain life and to the transmission of skills, knowledge, and cultural order to humanity. Rather than ruling through authority alone, Enki represents adaptability, instruction, and the maintenance of balance within the divine and human realms.
