Meslamtaea

In Mesopotamian religion, the god of the city of Cuthah in Akkad. The name of his temple, Emeslam or Meslam (“luxuriant mesu tree”), may indicate that he was originally a tree god. Later he was identified as the ruler of the netherworld and the spouse of its queen, Ereshkigal. He was the son of Enlil, god of the atmosphere, and Ninlil, goddess of grain, and he often appears in hymns as a warrior. He sometimes visited terrible plagues on his people and their herds.
