"When skies above were not yet named
nor earth below pronounced by name
Apsu, the first one, their begetter
and maker Tiamat, who bore them all,
had mixed their waters together.
But had not formed pastures, nor discovered reed-beds;
when yet no Gods were manifest.
Nor names pronounced, nor destinies decreed.
Then gods were born within them."
Stephanie Dalley, ed. and trans. Myths from Mesopotamia. New York: Oxford UP, 1991 - Quote on the track “Enuma Elish”
