"The one whose strength is enormous shall be his father's defender.The one who shall fight Chaos is Marduk, the hero."When Enki heard this, he called upon his son, Marduk, and said to him:"O Marduk, my faithful son, listen now to your father,for the shadow of death has fallen upon us all,and Mother Tiamat, the evil Dragon, has declared war against uswho have come forth from her dreams.She has gathered the legions of Chaos and wrathful darkness,who are now ready to spill our blood.You are our only hope, Marduk, for none other among usdare to fight Tiamat's warriors, who are led by Kingu.I, Enki, want you, Marduk, who are strongest of all the gods,to defend us against the wrath of the Dragon.I want you, my son, to defeat Tiamat."Marduk who was filled with hatred towards the Forces of Chaos,swore before his father's throne to wage war against Mother Tiamatand to use the strength that all the gods had bestowed upon him.When the gods heard this, they were filled with joy,but Marduk who was the most cunning among the bastard gods,gathered them all, and laid forth his demandsbefore the coming battle with the Forces of Chaos.To his father and the other gods he proclaimed:"If I, Marduk, son of Enki, shall wage war against Tiamat,I need the blessings and powers of all gods.I, Marduk, will be extolled above all.To rule over the highest throne is my demand.For if you do not extol me to the highest god,my strength will not be sufficient to defeat Chaos,and death will surely take us all."The gods, filled with fear of the upcoming war,agreed to the demands of Marduk.They built mighty temples in honor of Marduk, and praised his name.76
