An-gim dím-ma

The An-gim d\u00edm-ma is a Mesopotamian myth that recounts the return of the god Ninurta from battle. Upon his arrival in Nippur, Enlil's page, Nusku, instructs him to quiet his warlike clamor to avoid frightening Enlil and the other gods. After Ninurta delivers lengthy speeches praising himself, he is calmed and enters his temple peacefully. This myth is part of the rich literary tradition of ancient Mesopotamia, which originated with the Sumerians and was recorded in cuneiform script on clay tablets. These texts, including myths, epics, hymns, and laments, provide invaluable insights into Mesopotamian religion and culture.12
