Anshar
Anshar ( ð’€ð’Š¹ AN.Å ARâ‚‚, Neo-Assyrian: ) was a Mesopotamian god regarded as a primordial king of the gods. He was not actively worshiped. He was regarded as the father of Anu. In the first millennium BCE his name came to be used as a logographic representation of the head god in the Assyrian state pantheon, Ashur. He is attested in a number of god lists, such as An = Anum, and in literary compositions, including the EnÅ«ma EliÅ¡.
