Marduk
Hi. I am studying Marduk and how he became chief of the gods. My essential question is why there were good gods and bad gods. One of the reasons I picked this topic was because it had a lot of what I liked, such as adventure and thrill. like fighting and long journeys. I can’t wait to tell you about it.
Marduk is a young god, but he was still very powerful because he defeated the evil goddess, Tiamat. The reason Marduk was chosen to destroy the evil goddess was because he was the only one who would do it. The reason the other gods agreed to his terms of being chief of the gods was because the very wise water god Ea planned a flapjack party with lots of vases filled with wine that the gods could drink from. So once they were in a happy mood they would agree to Marduk’s terms. I think the reason why there are good gods and bad gods is it helps the good gods be strong. Another reason is the bad gods even though they’re bad they might be in charge of something like a river or animal.
