This god fathered a lioness-headed demon who killed unborn children by touching their mother's stomach seven times. The easily-flattered Tammuz and Gishzida guard the palace of this god, whose offer of the food of immortality is refused by the fisherman Adapa. In a Hittite myth that inspired the Greek story of Cronus, this god's semen creates Teshub when he is (*) castrated by his monstrous son Kumarbi. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ishtar's threats to raise the dead intimidate this god into allowing her use of the bull Gugalanna. This consort of Ki is descended from Apsu and Tiamat, has his holiest city at Uruk, and gives up his supremacy to Marduk. For 10 points, name this Mesopotamian god of the heavens, part of a triad with Enlil and Ea.
