Enkimdu

Enkimdu is the Sumerian god of farming, in charge of canals and ditches.

Biography

Enkimdu is the son of Enki.[1]

He argues with Dumuzid, who claims he has better power than Enkimdu.[2]

Duel

When the goddess Inanna was set to choose a husband, Enkimdu and Dumuzid fought for her.[3] Though Enkimudu won, Dumuzi attempted to explain to Innana that he was just like Enkimdu, and begins mocking her in the process.[4]

Legacy

A simulation software system named "ENKIMUDU" was named after the God.[5]
