Ullikummi

The Ullikummi is an epic tale from Hurrian mythology, written in Hittite. It describes a plot by the god Kumarbi to overthrow Teshub, the weather god. Kumarbi fathers a monstrous stone being named Ullikummi, who grows in the sea and threatens the cosmos.1

Ullikummi is a stone giant who stands on the shoulder of Upelluri, a titan supporting the heavens and earth. Teshub attempts to battle Ullikummi but is defeated. He then seeks help from Ea, the god of wisdom, who orders the retrieval of an ancient tool used to separate heaven and earth. With this tool, Ullikummi's power is severed, leading to his destruction. This myth, along with the Theogony, highlights the struggle for divine kingship and the eventual triumph of Teshub.1
