SHE IS CONSIDERED THE FOUNDER OF SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE, AND AS A GODDESS OF FERTILITY, GIVING HER POWER AND STRENGTH OVER TO NATURE. AND, AS A MERMAID GODDESS, SHE RULES OVER VEGETATION AND MOISTURE. THEY ALSO SAY THAT IT WAS ATARGATIS WHO PROTECTED THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY.
THERE ARE SEVERAL MYTHS ABOUT HER ORIGIN. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS ONE LEGEND THAT TELLS US THAT SHE CAME TO THE EARTH IN AN EGG WHICH LANDED IN THE EUPHRATES RIVER. IT WAS FROM THIS EGG THAT THE MERMAID ATARGATIS HATCHED. ANOTHER TALE SUGGESTS THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY TRANSFORMED FROM THE BODY AND SPIRIT OF A PREGNANT GIRL WHO HAD THROWN HERSELF INTO THE RIVER AND EMERGED AS HALF FISH.
