Enkimdu

Enkimdu is the Sumerian god of farming, in charge of canals and ditches.

Biography

Enkimdu is the son of Enki.[1]

He argues with Dumuzid, who claims he has better power than Enkimdu.[2]

Duel

When the goddess Inanna was set to choose a husband, Enkimdu and Dumuzid fought for her.[3] Though Enkimudu won, Dumuzi attempted to explain to Innana that he was just like Enkimdu, and begins mocking the vapidity of her choice, which led to Inanna dating the shepherd instead.[4]

Legacy

A simulation software system named "ENKIMUDU" was named after the God.[5]
